S1: Most of the universities in the country are now facing financial crisis. P : Cost benefit yardstick thus should not be applied in the case of universities. Q : The current state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue for long. R : Universities cannot be equated with commercial enterprises. S : Proper development of universities and colleges must be ensured. S6: The Government should realise this before it is too late. The Proper sequence should be: A. QRPS B. QSPR C. QRSP D. QPRS

The correct answer is C. QRSP.

The first sentence, “Most

of the universities in the country are now facing financial crisis,” sets the scene for the rest of the paragraph. The second sentence, “Cost benefit yardstick thus should not be applied in the case of universities,” explains why the universities are facing financial crisis. The third sentence, “Universities cannot be equated with commercial enterprises,” supports the second sentence. The fourth sentence, “Proper development of universities and colleges must be ensured,” is a call to action. The fifth sentence, “The Government should realise this before it is too late,” is a warning.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical flow of the paragraph. Option A, QRPS, starts with the call to action, which is not the most logical place to start. Option B, QSPR, starts with the warning, which is also not the most logical place to start. Option D, QPRS, starts with the explanation, which is not the most logical place to start.

In conclusion, the correct sequence of the sentences is C. QRSP.
