Let us consider an example of playing a game of dice.

The rules to be followed are not in the correct sequence. Arrange the steps in the correct sequence:

(a) The player who gets the highest number wins the game.

(b) If both the players get the same number,then repeat step 1.

(c)Each player rolls the dice one after the other and places them such that they form the highest two-digit number.

• a,b,c

• c,a,b

• b,a,c

• a,c,b

Here is a list of tasks that you do while posting a letter. Find out the missing sub-task.

(a) Write the letter.

(b) Write the address on the envelope.

(c) Post the letter.
