The very first sentence reflect that smoke comes out from plank (wood) it means there is silent fire in it.
So, the next sentence must be something which support this silent fire to convert into flame;this is supported by option "Q".
Then only it is possible that flames comes out from various places i.e. given in "S".
After seeing the flame everybody realize the outburst of fire i.e. in "R".
Therefore the correct order would be "QSRP" and not the "SRQP".
