Explanation:

Correct Answer is (e).Explanation:
Out of the eight statements, the two statements either of which could be the opening statement are A and F. Now, in these two statements A presents a scenario in the context of India whereas F does it in the context of the whole world which is obviously larger than India. Clearly, F should be the opening statement.
C follows as it takes the discussion related to the report mentioned in statement F further.
Keywords/phrases that link C to F:
“the report” in C links to “a recently released report” in F.
E follows next as it describes the methodology which has been stated in statement C.
Keywords/phrases that link E to C:
“the report” in E links to “the report” in C. Plus, the clause “the report assumes wealth is assets minus debt” is the methodology used in preparing the report and hence it confirms statement E to be the third statement in the sequence.
B immediately follows as it criticizes the measure or methodology used in the report by throwing an argument.
Keywords/phrases that link B to E:
“this measure” in B links to “the report assumes wealth is assets minus debt” in E.
The sequence made so far is – FCEB.
H follows next as it points towards the statistical data given in the statement B.
Keywords/phrases that link H to B:
“These statistical issues” in H links to “a poor Indian farmer with little debt and little assets can end up “richer” than a Wall Street banker with little assets and a large student loan.” In B.
D follows next as in this statement the writer presents a contradictory piece of information in the context of India to that of the one discussed so far in the context of the world.
A immediately follows as it describes what the report exactly provides the data in the context of India.
Keywords/phrases that link A to D:
“the Indian population” in A links to “in India” in D.
Obviously, G must be the last sentence in the sequence and hence the complete sequence made after rearrangement is – FCEBHDAG.
