2.CDBA

4.ABDC
Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
After reading the sentences, it can be noted that the central theme of the passage is the condition of soil fertility in Andhra Pradesh. Sentence A forms a mandatory pair with sentence 1, as the latter talks about backward areas in Andhra Pradesh, indicating that Rayalaseema is one of them (through sentence A). Sentence A is followed by sentence B which talks about the exact condition of Rayalaseema in terms of its natural resources. Sentence D continues with the information provided in sentence B and explains the effect of poor soil fertility in Rayalaseema. Sentence C follows D, in which the role of the National Soil Survey and Land use planning are mentioned in countering the coil fertility issue in Rayalaseema and sentence 6 concludes the passage. Therefore, the correct order is 1ABDC6.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
