Explanation:

Sentences ‘P’ and ‘R’ make use of pronoun ‘he’, who has been referred to in sentence ‘S’. Hence, ‘P’ & ‘R’ will clearly come after ‘S’. This narrows our option to ‘3’ & ‘4’. Now, sentence ‘Q’ does not refer to the ‘man’ in sentence ‘S’, but is a general statement referring to the perpetual practice mentioned in S1. Hence, the correct sequence of the sentences will be: S1, Q, S, P, R, S6 Thus, option ‘4’ is correct.
