Correct Answer <p>QSPRT</p>

Logically and contextually Q is independent of the rest sentences and so Q is the First sentence in the sequence.

Out of the rest sentences, Q is followed by S and P subsequently with reference to the context.

Therefore S and P are respectively the Second and third sentences in the sequence.

Out of R and T, R definitely follows P and hence  P is the fourth sentence.

Undoubtedly, R becomes the Fifth sentence in the sequence.

Therefore, the correct option is QSPRT.

Correct sequence:

  1. Q) Last night we were at the hostel when almost every boarder heard a monstrous sound.
  2. S) But nobody went out as it was torrentially downpouring outside and also there was no power in the hostel premises.
  3. P) On the next morning they found out that the transformer at the nearby substation had exploded with a horrific sound which they had heard in the night before.
  4. R) However, there was no casualty and the fire fighting group had handled the situation in an adept manner.
  5. T) Two days later, power was restored in the hostel upon installation of the new transformer and other accessories.

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
For the next cyclone if it is the turn of an Indian name to be chosen, then what will be that name?
