Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. P + R = Q + S.

Given

P + Q = 2R      ------------- (I)

R + S = 2P      ------------- (II)

From equation (I): Q = 2R - P

From equation (II): S = 2P - R

Q + S

Q + S = (2R - P) + (2P - R)

= 2R - P + 2P - R = R + P

Thus, P + R = Q + S
