printing mistake in the explanation (Question: 145968.1 )

correction--->

A follows E as 'it' in A refers to tarikh-al-hind in E.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Rearrange the following sentences A, B, C, D, E, and F in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions that follow them.


(A) In explaining why he wrote it, Alberuni argued that it is very important for people in one country to know how others elsewhere live, and how and what they think. 

(B) He was an Iranian who was born in Central Asia in 973 CE and wrote in Arabic. 

(C) Alberuni had seen plenty of evil in his former patron Mahmud of Ghazni, who had savgely raided India several times and whose evil arose from a lack of understanding of other people and cultures. 

(D) As the second Georgian millennium began, India was visited by an intellectual tourist in the form of Alberuni. 

(E) But he also studied Indian writings on science, philosophy, literature, linguisitics, religion and other subjects and wrote an informative book about India called ‘Tarikh al–Hind'. 

(F) Alberuni's primary interest was in Indian mathematics and he wrote a translation of Brahmagupta's Sanskrit treatise on astronomy and mathematics.

Which is the LAST sentence of the paragraph?

Options:
A) C
B) B
C) A
D) F
E) E
Solution:
Ans: (a) Statements (A), (B), (E) and (F) cannot begin as they should have precedents. (D) begins as it introduces Alberuni and (B) follows as it explains more about Alberuni. (F) follows next as Alberuni’s primary merest’ is stated. What else did Alberuni research? This is stated in (E) so it follows (F). He studied many areas of Indian writing. (A) follows (F) as ‘it’ in (A) refers to ‘Tarikh al-Hind’ in (F). What is stated in (A) is aptly concluded in (C). Mahmud of Ghazani was cruel because he had seen only his country and people of his kind. The right order of sentences is DBFEAC.
