Q:

In the given question, a statement divided into different segments is given. The first segment is fixed, rearrange the other segments to form a coherent statement.

Introduction of the finance bill was delayed/ budget allocation for the cottage (P)/ debating over the renewal of the last year's (Q)/ by a week as the lawmakers were busy (R)/ industry which got wasted (S)

A) PQRS B) SPQR
C) RQPS D) QRPS
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) RQPS

Explanation:

This question can be best solved by the elimination technique. 'was delayed budget allocation', 'was delayed industry which' and 'was delayed debating over' do not make sense; hence P, Q and S can't follow the first segment. This eliminates options 1, 2 and 4. Option 5 places S after R which makes the resultant segment as 'lawmakers were busy industry' which is illogical; hence option 5 can also be eliminated. Hence, the correct sequence is RQPS.
