Statement S1 says about two plates and statement Q describe each plate separately.
So Q is the first statement. Its sure.
S seems running statement after Q. So we get QS.
In R "she" has been used, hence It should follow the sentence in which its noun is mentioned.
Hence R follows P. PR.
Now two option arises either PRQS or QSPR.
S doesn't fit appropriate before S6 but R do.
Therefore we go with QSPR.
