It has been established that
(P) Einstein was
(Q) although a great scientist
(R) weak in arithmetic
(S) right from his school days

To form a correct and meaningful sentence, the proper sequence should be:

  1. A
    (Q) (P) (S) (R)
  2. B
    (P) (R) (S) (Q)
  3. C
    (Q) (P) (R) (S)
  4. D
    (P) (S) (Q) (R)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To arrange the segments logically:
The introductory clause is "It has been established that".
Following this with section (Q) "although a great scientist" creates a conditional concession, followed logically by the subject and verb configuration in (P) "Einstein was", then the descriptive attribute in (R) "weak in arithmetic", and finalized by the timeline qualifier in (S) "right from his school days".
The complete continuous sequence reads: "It has been established that although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic right from his school days." This corresponds perfectly to sequence Q-P-R-S.
