Sequence the following sentences in a coherent passage.
P: This fortuitous geological event generated a colossal amount of energy and heat that resulted in the rocks rising to an average height of 4 km across the contact zone.
Q: Thus, the geophysicists tend to think of the Himalayas as an active geological event rather than as a static geological feature.
R: The natural process of the cooling of this massive edifice absorbed large quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide, altering the earth’s atmosphere and making it better suited for life.
S: Many millennia ago, a breakaway chunk of bedrock from the Antarctic Plate collided with the massive Eurasian Plate.
The correct sequence of the passage is \( S \to P \to R \to Q \):
Step 1: Identify the introductory sentence.The sentence \( S \) describes the origin of the geological event, making it the natural starting point.
Step 2: Arrange the subsequent sentences.Sentence \( P \) follows \( S \), as it explains the energy and heat generated by the collision.
Sentence \( R \) describes the cooling process that followed the event, which logically succeeds \( P \).
Finally, sentence \( Q \) concludes the passage by explaining the perspective of geophysicists, tying together the overall context.
Thus, the correct sequence is \( SPRQ \).
Which letter replaces the question mark? A, D, G, J, M, ?
The \( F_{121} \) value of a known microorganism with \( Z \) value of \( 11^\circ C \) is 2.4 min for 99.9999% inactivation. For a 12D inactivation of the said microorganism at \( 143^\circ C \), the \( F \) value (in min) is .......... (rounded off to 3 decimal places)
Three villages P, Q, and R are located in such a way that the distance PQ = 13 km, QR = 14 km, and RP = 15 km, as shown in the figure. A straight road joins Q and R. It is proposed to connect P to this road QR by constructing another road. What is the minimum possible length (in km) of this connecting road?
Note: The figure shown is representative.
For the clock shown in the figure, if
O = O Q S Z P R T, and
X = X Z P W Y O Q,
then which one among the given options is most appropriate for P?
