Question:
Find the proper sequence of the four sentences (P, Q, R and S) between S1 and S6.
S1: Although all sources of energy ultimately come from natural processes, non-renewable resources cannot be replaced naturally at the rate they are being used.
S6: The sustainable use of natural resources in a manner that provides the maximum benefit of these resources to humans over a period of time can be termed as conservation.
P: This will increases the time and cost of mining and once these resources are used up they cannot be replaced.
Q: Hence, we must remember that though our country is rich in mineral deposits, these resources are short-lived.
R: Extraction of these ores through the process of mining will soon become difficult and very expensive because these minerals have to be mined from greater depth over time.
S: Mineral resources can be said to be finite and non-renewable.

Options:
- a) QPRS
- b) SPQR
- c) SQRP
- d) SQPR
- a) QPRS
- b) SPQR
- c) SQRP
- d) SQPR
correct answer : c)
Explanation:
The correct sequence is SQRP. The passage begins with the idea that non-renewable resources cannot be replaced easily (S1). Sentence S continues by stating they are finite. Q builds on this by highlighting the temporary nature of even abundant mineral deposits. R logically follows, explaining the difficulties of extraction. P then discusses the rising costs and irreplacability, which coherently leads to the concluding idea of sustainable use in S6.
