Solution

The correct option is D QRSP
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It must be a continuation or extension of S1.
Q is first in the sequence: S1 starts by saying that happiness is an inner state of mind. Q further adds that it is little dependant on outside environment.
Q is followed by R: R gives an example to support Q. It says that happiness, for instance, has very little to do with whether one is rich or not.
R is followed by S: S adds a condition to R. It says that it is true that poverty makes one miserable in an acute way.
S is followed by P: P goes on to say that S might be true but some of the most miserable people are rich. S6 infers from P. It says that the point is that it is not wealth but the coordination of one's thought which removes inner conflicts.
Thus, the correct sequence is Q R S P. Hence, D is the correct option.
