Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct Answer : Option B
Explanation –
The first sentence should ideally highlight a subject that is being discussed by the sentences that form a passage.
In sentence R, the use of the phrase 'in the news recently' highlight that it should be the opening sentence and at the same time introduces the subject i.e. 'Non-performing assets'.
Further, the subject is detailed by sentence P, therefore it should follow sentence R.
Among Q and S, S uses the concluding phrase 'it must be noted'. Thus, S should be the final sentence and Q should precede it.
Therefore, the correct order should be RPQS.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
