The arrangement of orbitals on the basis of energy is based upon their $(n + l)$ value. Lower the value of $(n + l)$,lower is the energy. For orbitals having same values of $(n + l)$,the orbital with lower value of $n$ will have lower energy.
$(I)$ Based upon the above information,arrange the following orbitals in the increasing order of energy.
$(a)$ $1s, 2s, 3s, 2p$
$(b)$ $4s, 3s, 3p, 4d$
$(c)$ $5p, 4d, 5d, 4f, 6s$
$(d)$ $5f, 6d, 7s, 7p$
