Solution

The correct option is C P>R>Q
Metal P can reduce metal R. Hence, the reactivity of metal P towards oxygen is higher than the reactivity of metal R towards oxygen.
Similarly, metal R can reduce metal Q. Hence, the reactivity of metal R towards oxygen is higher than the reactivity of metal Q towards oxygen.
Thus, the decreasing order of the reactivity of metal, P,Q and R with oxygen is P>R>Q.
