Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The first sentence should ideally introduce a subject. For the given sentences, the subject i.e. Balance of payments can be found in Q.
Next, we must find the extension of the subject. Sentence R is the relevant sentence here because P further details what R describes.
Therefore, Q should be followed by R, which in turn should be followed by P.
And Clearly, S is the concluding sentence.
Therefore, the correct order after rearrangement should be QRPS.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
