The correct sequence is 'QSRP'.
The first sentence of the correct arrangement must provide information about the subject of the passage. The subject of this passage is 'mind of a traveller' as indicated by 1.
Out of all the given sentences, the sentence that further talks about the subject is 'Sentence Q'. It further adds on to the subject and tells us about 'the chief idea of one very common type of traveller'. Therefore, 'Sentence Q' forms the first sentence of our correct arrangement.
'Sentence S' is the only sentence that talks about what the traveller does after he returns home. It is the only sentence that logically follows Q and therefore forms the second sentence of our correct arrangement.
If we look at the last sentence of the arrangement i.e. 'Sentence 6', it talks about how the traveller treats all the cities that he visits in an 'unceremonious way'. 'Sentence P' is the only sentence that indicates such 'unceremonious' behaviour as it mentions that the traveller 'wants to get over with the task of seeing its principal sights as quickly as possible'. Thus we can conclude that 'Sentence P' is the fourth sentence, leaving 'Sentence R' as the third sentence of the arrangement.
