Solution

The correct option is B PQ
Sentence P introduces the idea of the prepaid meters and also explains why shops and homes in select areas of Maharashtra will soon have to pay in advance for the electricity they use. So, it has to follow sentence S1. The only option that has P first is option B and, so, it is the correct answer.
Sentence Q cannot follow sentence S1 as it directly talks about installing 25,000 prepaid meters without introducing the idea of the meters. For the same reason, sentence R cannot follow sentence S1. Since options A, C, and D all begin with Q or R, they are incorrect.
