Question

Sentences of a paragraph are given below. While the first and the last sentences (S1 and S6) are in the correct order, the sentences in between are jumbled up.
S1- CV Raman’s story begins in a village near Tiruchirapalli (known in his days as Trichinopoly) in southern India.
P. When he was four years old, Raman’s family moved to Vishakapatnam.
Q. He was born on 8 November 1888, the second child of R Chandrashekara Iyer and Parvati Ammal.
R. Chandrasekara Iyer was an athletic man and he took active interest in sports.
S. His father took up a job there, as a lecturer in Mrs. AV Narsimha Rao College, where he taught physics, mathematics and physical geography.
S6- His young son Raman was not physically very strong, but was very intelligent and he preferred to read books and work at his studies.

A.

QPRS

B.

QPSR

C.

PQSR

D.

SRPQ

Correct option is B

  • S1 introduces CV Raman and the place where his story begins, so background information comes first.

  • Q logically follows as it gives birth details, which naturally come after introduction.

  • P comes next as it talks about an early life event—the family moving when Raman was four years old.

  • S must follow P because the word “there” refers to Vishakapatnam, mentioned in sentence P.

  • R fits after S because once the father’s job is mentioned, his personality and interests are described.

  • S6 correctly concludes the paragraph by contrasting the father’s physical strength with Raman’s intelligence and academic inclination.

Final Order:
S1 → Q → P → S → R → S6

Hence, the correct answer is Option (B) QPSR.
