this is the order 3, 2, 1 ,6 , 4, 5 from youngest to oldest. 3 would be the youngest because it cut through 2 layers of rock and its an intrusion so the principle of cross makes it young. 2 is also an intrusion but it only goes through 1 layer of rock but principle of cross makes it one of the youngest. 1 is the top layer so the principle of superposition makes it one of the younger ones. 6 is on the second layer of rock not including the intrusions so the principle of superposition makes it the 4th oldest. number 4 is the second to last rock closest to the bottom so the principle of superposition makes it one of the oldest rock layers. The oldest layer is 5 because it is at the very bottom so principle of superposition makes it the oldest.
