The correct answer is option 4) i.e., ‘DACB’.
Key Points 
  • When arranging sentences, it is easier to order the first few; and then eliminate the options accordingly.
  • The first sentence of a paragraph is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it. 
  • Here, only D is independent and introduce a topic of how the subjects Tenali Raman and his wife were going to Hampi. 
  • It should be followed by A  which talks about what they did on their journey towards Hampi. 
  • So, A must come after D. Then DA is the correct order.
  • This order is shown in option 4, which shows the full sequence as: DACB.

Thus, the correct sequence is: DACB
