Given series: _ Q _ S P _ R _  _ Q _  _ P _ R _

Let's put all the options in the series and check.

Option 1: P Q R S P Q R S P Q R S P Q R S

It follows the pattern.

Option 2: P Q R S P Q R S  P Q R  R P P R Q

It doesn't follow any pattern.

Option 3: S Q P S P R R S  P Q R  Q P Q R S

It doesn't follow any pattern.
