Option 4 : QRSP

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. QRSP.

•  While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
  • Q follows sentence 1 as it gives an incident of the discrimination he faced.
  • Next is R as it tells what Gandhi did as a result of what he was told.
  • S follows R as it introduces another incident.
  • Last is P as it tells what happened on the train and sentence 6 gives the reason for the same.
