‘R’ will be the first part of the given sequence as ‘these sense objects’ and ‘happiness’ in R is making reference to the opening sentence. ‘Q’ will come next as it gives an example by equating the happiness (of a prisoner who is about to be executed) with the object, that is, ‘food’. ‘S’ will come next which says that ‘this idea of happiness with objects’ is folly. ‘P’ will follow next as it states that a wise man is happy even with or without the ‘objects’. Thus, RQSP is the correct sequence.
