• D. C, A, D, B, E

Hint:

Coconut takes much longer time from flowering to harvest compared to most fruit crops.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Different fruit crops require different duration from flowering to harvest. Small fruits mature faster, while perennial crops like coconut require longer duration.

Step 1: Fastest maturing fruit.
Strawberry takes comparatively less time from flowering to harvesting. \[ C=\text{Strawberry} \]

Step 2: Next fruit.
Litchi takes more time than strawberry but less than banana, guava and coconut. \[ A=\text{Litchi} \]

Step 3: Banana and guava.
Banana and guava take longer duration than litchi. \[ D=\text{Banana}, \quad E=\text{Guava} \]

Step 4: Longest duration.
Coconut takes the maximum time from flowering to harvesting. \[ B=\text{Coconut} \] Thus, increasing order is: \[ C,A,D,E,B \] \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (C)} \]
