Direction: In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as SI and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1: On increasing the temperature of solids, the kinetic energy of the particles increases.

S6: The temperature at which a solid melts to become a liquid at the atmospheric pressure is called its melting point.

P: A stage is reached when the solid melts and is converted to a liquid.

Q: Due to the increase in kinetic energy, the particles start vibrating with greater speed.

R: The particles leave their fixed positions and start moving more freely.

S: The energy supplied by heat overcomes the forces of attraction between the particles.
