Writing in Alphabetical order, which name of the following will appear in the last?

  2. B. Mohinder (Correct answer)
  3. C. Mohender
  4. D. Mahendra

Correct Answer

Option B — Mohinder

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Mohinder.

Key Points

  • This is an alphabetical ordering (dictionary order) question.
  • The four names must be arranged exactly as they would appear in a dictionary, comparing letter by letter from left to right.
  • All four names begin with M.
  • At the second letter, 'a' comes before 'o', so Mahendra and Mahinder are placed before Mohender and Mohinder.
  • Between Mahendra and Mahinder, the fourth letter decides: 'e' before 'i', so Mahendra precedes Mahinder.
  • Between Mohender and Mohinder, again the fourth letter decides: 'e' before 'i', so Mohender comes before Mohinder.
  • The complete dictionary order is: Mahendra → Mahinder → Mohender → Mohinder.
  • The name appearing last is therefore Mohinder, which makes option (B) correct.
