Option 2 : BCAD

The correct answer is- 'BCAD.' 

  • By reading the above-given options we can understand that the passage is about Sultan Gayasuddin and an incident that happend with him.
  • B is the first sentence as it introduces the subject (Sultan Gayasuddin) of the passage.
  • C will follow next as the pronoun (he) refers to the noun (Sultan Gayasuddin).
  • D will follow A, as the noun (the woman) in D is introduced in A as a poor widow.
  • Thus option 2 is the correct answer.

The correct sequence is:
B. Sultan Gayasuddin was a famous Pathan king who ruled over eastern India.
C. One day, while he was hunting, one of his arrows killed a little boy.
A. The boy was the only son of a poor widow.
D. Crying and wailing, the woman reported the matter to the magistrate, who was known as Qazi.    

  • Here are some tips to solve the para jumbles:
    • You need to understand the idea behind the paragraph. If you can understand the idea/theme of the paragraph it is easy to put the sentences in order then.
    • You should look out for the starting or the concluding sentences in the question. Sometimes they are clearly visible and can help you immensely in identifying the correct sequence.
    • You need to know the relationships between different sentences to put them in the right sequence. 
    • You should first fix the relationships of sentences, put them in order and then check the options.
    • Transition words and contrasting words also help in finding clean relationships between sentences of the sentence rearrangement.
    • Do not over depend on options, they only confuse you if you keep looking at them, use them as facilitators only, especially to fix your first sentence.
    • The whole paragraph should have a coherent idea and flow when arranged in the correct order.
