B Correct answer
Explanation

Let us try to find the easy links. Statements 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all about Prof. Shankar being a misfit today. So, they have to be placed together. 'That was the age' in 2 points to 'another age' in 3. 'Also the age' in 4 follows 2 and 3. Statements 2, 3 and 4 explain 'why' he was a misfit. That leaves 5 as the opening sentence. Somebody who died was a misfit in the present age and belonged to a different age. The required sequence is: 51324.
