Directions: In this question, different parts of a sentence/passage have been jumbled. Choose the option that represents the best sequence to make the sentence/passage coherent and meaningful. Ignore punctuation marks. P: Telescope arrays in the Northern and Southern hemispheres Q: In Leh for an international collaboration that is R: India plans to offer an astronomical site at Hanle S: Exploring the possibility of setting up two large gamma-ray
Let's break down why the correct answer is RQSP. The goal is to create a grammatically correct and logically flowing sentence or passage from the jumbled parts.
* **R: India plans to offer an astronomical site at Hanle**: This is a strong starting point. It introduces the subject: India's plan. The phrase "at Hanle" tells us *where*.
* **Q: In Leh for an international collaboration that is**: This section naturally follows from R. It specifies *where* "at Hanle" is located - Leh. The phrase "for an international collaboration" adds context.
* **S: Exploring the possibility of setting up two large gamma-ray**: This comes next, elaborating on what the international collaboration might be about. It describes something they would do ("exploring the possibility of setting up...").
* **P: Telescope arrays in the Northern and Southern hemispheres**: This final part provides the details about what type of equipment might be involved. This complements and completes the "setting up" part of S.
Therefore, the sequence RQSP forms the most cohesive and sensible passage. Here's how the passage would read:
"India plans to offer an astronomical site at Hanle in Leh for an international collaboration that is exploring the possibility of setting up two large gamma-ray telescope arrays in the Northern and Southern hemispheres."
