Arrange the following words in a logical and meaningful order 1. Colonel 2.…

The Indian Army's officer rank hierarchy is a fixed order of seniority — every rank outranks every rank below it, from the top (Field Marshal, largely ceremonial) down to the most junior commissioned rank (Lieutenant). Ranking-and-order questions on this hierarchy test whether the exact seniority sequence, high to low, is known.

1. Field Marshal (2) is the highest of the five ranks listed.

2. General (5) ranks immediately below Field Marshal.

3. Brigadier (3) ranks below General.

4. Colonel (1) ranks below Brigadier.

5. Lieutenant (4) is the most junior of the five, ranking last.

Checking pairwise confirms no rank is out of place: Field Marshal outranks General, General outranks Brigadier, Brigadier outranks Colonel, and Colonel outranks Lieutenant, all under the standard hierarchy.

So the descending order of seniority is 2, 5, 3, 1, 4.
