Answer 1

The correct option is B S-P-R-Q

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It should be a continuation or extension of S1.

S is first in the sequence: S1 says that in ancient India, the city of Ujjain was quite famous. S starts to explain why it was famous. It says that Ujjain was always renowned as a seat of learning.

S is followed by P: P further adds that the poet Kalidas once lived here.

P is followed by R: R continues P's point. It says not only Kalidas but also Raja Jai Singh of Jaipur came and worked here.

R is followed by Q: Q directly continues R's point. It says that Raja Jai Singh was a famous learned astronomer. S6 concludes by saying that due to above facts it is understandable why those who cared for India felt great love for this city.

Thus, the correct sequence is S P R Q. Hence, B is the correct option.
