The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. These sentences, when properly sequenced form a coherent paragraph. Select the most logical order of sentences from among the options. P: About 30 new hydro projects are now under execution with an installed capacity of 5,600 MW. Q: However, with the rapid increase in demand for power, a higher priority was given to the pithead super thermal power stations as their gestation period was smaller than that of the hydel schemes. R: Many projects were taken up for execution after independence and at one time (1962-63), the capacity contribution from hydro schemes was equal to thermal schemes. S: The first hydro generating unit in India was commissioned in Darjeeling (W.Bengal) in 1897.

First Sentence- Sentence S introduces the subject of the paragraph which happens to be hydro energy generation. All the other sentences talk about the same subject in different ways but sentence S is the only clear introduction.

Second Sentence- Sentence R takes the discussion further by mentioning the other hydro projects after the first one in 1897.

Third Sentence- Sentence Q, on the other hand, tells us about the reasons that lead to an increase in the demand for pithead super thermal power stations a substitute to hydro generating plants.

Fourth Sentence- Sentence P concludes the discussion by talking about new projects under development.
