Hi guys. Above sentence I saw in MGMAT Verbal, and the author said that both versions are correct. For me, the first version sounds odd, and I at first thought that the order, pretty much, matters a lot in any sentence. However, I have seen many uses of such inverse. Does anyone know any specific rule about this?
Thank you

It's an interesting question. It's definitely okay to invert the subject and verb in some similar cases. For instance, this sounds completely fine to me:
'I noticed a chair upon which slept a large tabby cat.'
And this also sounds completely fine:
'I noticed a chair upon which a large tabby cat slept.'
However, in other cases, it seems wrong:
'He borrowed the brushes with which painted the artist.' Bad!
'He borrowed the brushes with which the artist painted.' Good!
So, I'm not totally sure, and I can't find a good source in the Official Guide (if anybody else has a good Sentence Correction problem that uses this, please post it here!) It seems to possibly have something to do with the specific verb (i.e. 'slept' is fine, but 'painted' isn't.) Maybe you can only invert if the verb is intransitive?
