Direction for Q. 11-15: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Thus, taking various alternative fuels, like coal, oil, wood or water power: the only difference between them recognized by modern economics is relative cost per equivalent unit. The cheapest is automatically the one to be preferred, as to do otherwise would be irrational and 'uneconomic'. From a Buddhist point of view, of course, this will not do. The essential difference between non renewable fuels like coal and oil on one hand, and renewable fuels like wood and water power on the other cannot be simply overlooked. Non renewable goods must be used only if they are indispensable, and then only with the greatest care and the highest concern for conservation. To use them carelessly or extravagantly is an act of violence, and while complete non violence may not be possible on this earth, it is none the less the duty of man to aim at the ideal of non violence in all he does.

Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the report given below. P: This is Andersen's first major final. Coming into US Open, his best Grand Slam result was at the quarter-finals of the 2015 US Open, where he defeated Andy Murray, but ended up losing to Stan Wawrinka. On Sunday, he was completely overwhelmed by Nadal, who he has known since he was a child. "It feels like I have been watching you play all my life," Anderson said. Q: He is second to only No. 3 Roger Federer, who has 19 Grand Slam titles. Nadal will now have an almost 2000-point lead that will further cement his position at the top of the rankings. At this tournament, Nadal missed playing Federer, who lost to No. 24 seed Juan Martin del Potro in the quarter- finals. Nadal didn't face an opponent in the top 20 in his run to the title. R: Nadal dominated every aspect of the match that lasted around two and a half hours. Anderson was able to serve aces - his biggest strength - under extreme pressure, but it was no match to Nadal?s superior forehand and a ferocious backhand. Nadal managed to break Anderson four times in the game - all that was needed to take the match in straight sets. S: In what was yet another clinical performance, World No. 1 Rafael Nadal defeated No. 28 Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 to lift his third US Open title and his 16th overall Grand Slam title. As the US Open closes up the 2017 Slam season, it marks the year of resurgence for the old-timers of the game: both Nadal and Federer have each won two of the four major titles.
