A Correct answer
Explanation

In this question, the two statements which have to came together are AC. (A) talks about low pressure i.e. (A) introduces the word low pressure & (C) gives the term 'eye' for this low pressure. So, (A) and (C) have to be together which is only in option (1). Also, on reading all choices, only (A) is the most logical sequence. In this question, B & D statements talk about 'layers'. B introduces the 'layers' & D later talks about temp. of layers. So, BD is the key which is only in option (A). Also, statement A introduces 'hot gases' and C later speaks about the form of gases. So, AC is also the key. Hence, the only relevant choice is (1).
