    P. Then she would add the three-fourths water that he would anyway add to the milk. So that he was not burdened with climbing upstairs with the heavy can. 

    Q. One day she said to him that he was too old to climb upstairs with the heavy can of milk.

    R. We stayed on the second floor of an individual house and my mother was very angry with the old man who brought diluted milk to us.

    S. She suggested to him that he should come up with the can, one-fourth full with milk.
    Solutions
    • R starts the narration. It tells us about a family who lives on the second floor of a building and is frustrated with the milkman.

    • Q takes the story ahead as the woman tells him that he is too old to carry the milk can.

    • S is in link with Q as in S she suggests that he should carry only one-fourth full can of milk.
    Thus, the correct sequence is RQSP.

    After arranging the sentences, the passage will be: We stayed on the second floor of an individual house and my mother was very angry with the old man who brought diluted milk to us. One day she said to him that he was too old to climb upstairs with the heavy can of milk. She suggested to him that he should come up with the can, one-fourth full with milk. Then she would add the three-fourths water that he would anyway add to the milk. So that he was not burdened with climbing upstairs with the heavy can.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    P: He was wearing a skullcap and sported his now signature long beard.
    Q: Geo TV is one of Pakistan's biggest TV networks.
    R: Junaid Jamshed made his entrance, standing tall in a kurta.
    S: Jamshed was to prerecord episodes of ALIF LAAM MEEM, a 2011 Islamicised version of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE for Geo TV.
    Solutions
    Either sentence Q or R can be the introductory sentence. When we will go through the options, option C, which has the sequence QPRS, does not make any meaningful paragraph. Hence, option B, which has the sequence RPSQ, makes a meaningful paragraph. Sentence R introduces us to the subject of the paragraph - Junaid Jamshed. The use of pronoun "he" in the sentence P is for "Junaid". Sentence S talks about the reason why Junaid is all dressed-up and it also mentions the name of T.V. network - Geo T.V which is later explained in sentence Q. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    Q: Then he played in the fields until noon. 
    R: When he was a little boy, he lived on a farm in the country.
    S: He used to feed the chicken in the morning
    Solutions
    Sentence R talks about a little boy who lived in a farm. Sentence P will follow R as it mentions that the farm was of little boy's grandfather. Sentence S talks about the the morning routine of the boy whereas sentence Q points out his playtime till noon. Hence, the sequence RPSQ, i.e. option D is the correct answer.

    P: Shardul was waiting for his school bus. 
    Q: As a leader of the house, he wanted to win the General Championship by scoring maximum points.
    R: It was 7 o' clock in the morning. 
    S: He was keenly looking at the approaching vehicles.
    Solutions
    R is an introductory sentence as it starts with the time- 7 O' clock in the morning. Sentence P points out that he is waiting for his school bus. Sentence S focuses on how keenly he is looking at the vehicle approaching him. The only option with sequence RPS is option D. Hence, it is the answer.

    P. He told me that I had boarded the wrong bus. 

    Q. I was very happy to occupy a seat as I was sure that my journey will be comfortable. 

    R. I boarded a bus from Tilak Nagar to the Railway Station. 

    S. The conductor came and I asked for a ticket.
    Solutions
    Sentence R should be the first in the sequence as it has the main theme of the sequence (the person boarded a bus from Tilak Nagar to the Railway Station). After boarding a bus or a train one always looks for a seat; here, the narrator also tells us in sentence Q that he found a seat just after boarding the bus. The pronoun 'he' used in sentence P is used for the conductor (mentioned in S). This makes SP a mandatory pair. 

    Thus, after rearranging the sentences, the sequence will be: RQSP
    I boarded a bus from Tilak Nagar to the Railway Station. I was very happy to occupy a seat as I was sure that my journey will be comfortable. The conductor came and I asked for a ticket. He told me that I had boarded the wrong bus. 

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    P. But, too much of any of the two can leave us diseased and depressed.

    Q. Indeed, thought and action can be separately analyzed but can never be separated from each other.

    R. Because thought demands action to be completed and action, without thought, also has no value.

    S. The best life, therefore, is lived both in thought and deed.
    Solutions
    Q should be the first sentence in the sequence as it talks about the theme of the passage i.e. how actions and thoughts are importantly connected. Also, it seems to be the only independent statement. The next sentence should be R as it is the reason for what has been told in sentence Q. S is obviously the last statement as it shows a conclusive note and a resolution of the argument. P is best to put before S because it cannot come at the beginning or ending, and QR is a pair so neither can come between them.

    Thus, the correct sequence becomes QRPS i.e.- Indeed, thought and action can be separately analyzed but can never be separated from each other. Because thought demands action to be completed and action, without thought, also has no value. But, too much of any of the two can leave us diseased and depressed. The best life, therefore, is lived both in thought and deed.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    P. This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved.

    Q. A force exists between everybody in the universe.

    R. Normally, it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like earth, the force is considerable.

    S. It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton.
    Solutions
    • Sentence Q simply presents a fact about the force that exists between everybody in the universe.

    • It should be followed by S as it mentions the names of some scientists who investigated this force.

    • The next sentence should be P as it describes the general property of the force.

    • Sentence R cites an example as when the force seems very small and when it is considerably huge.

    Thus, the correct sequence is QSPR.

    After rearranging the sentences, the passage will be: A force exists between everybody in the universe. It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. Normally, it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like earth, the force is considerable.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    P. According to him, all religions are equally true and each scripture is worthy of respect. 

    Q. In Gandhiji’s view, secularism stands for equal respect for all religions. 

    R. Nehru’s idea of secularism was equal indifference to all religions and bothering about none of them.

    S. There is a difference between Gandhiji’s concept of secularism and that of Nehru’s.
    Solutions
    • Sentence S mentions that Gandhiji’s concept of secularism differed from those of Nehru's.
    • Since the name of Gandhi is mentioned first, his idea should be talked about first.
    • So, Q should follow S.
    • P would follow Q as it elaborates Gandhi's views. Sentence R states Nehru's idea.
    • Thus, the correct sequence is SQPR.

    After arranging the sentences, the passage will be - There is a difference between Gandhiji’s concept of secularism and that of Nehru’s. In Gandhiji’s view, secularism stands for equal respect for all religions. According to him, all religions are equally true and each scripture is worthy of respect. Nehru’s idea of secularism was equal indifference to all religions and bothering about none of them.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    P. Just as the barometer only tells us the pressure of air, the weather-vane tells us the direction of the wind.
    Q. They are designed to point to direction from which the wind is coming.
    R. They are only wind-vanes.
    S. The weather-vane often tops a church spire, tower or high building.
    Solutions
    • Statement S introduces us to the topic - weather-vane.
    • Next should be statement P which further gives additional information about the object talked about in statement S.
    • It should be followed by statement R which further describes them.
    • Next should be statement Q which describes the purpose of their design.
    • Thus, the correct sequence will be: SPRQ.

    After rearranging the sentences, the passage will be: The weather-vane often tops a church spire, tower or high building. Just as the barometer only tells us the pressure of air, the weather-vane tells us the direction of the wind. They are only wind-vanes. They are designed to point to direction from which the wind is coming.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    P. They feared a backlash from orthodox elements.

    Q. The system of Sati prevailed among upper-caste Hindus in the 19th century.

    R. Between 1815 and 1818 in Bengal alone, 800 women became Satis.

    S. The British did not take any legal action against this practice.

    Solutions

    Sentence Q talks about an ancient practice in India, i.e. the Sati system. Q should be followed by R as it shows data about the number of women who finished their life in this practice. The next sentence should be S as it shows the concern of the British against this system. Sentence P would be next as it mentions the reason why the British did not take any action against the Sati system.

    Thus, the correct sequence is QRSP, i.e.: The system of Sati prevailed among upper-caste Hindus in the 19th century. Between 1815 and 1818 in Bengal alone, 800 women became Satis. The British did not take any legal action against this practice. They feared a backlash from orthodox elements.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.
