Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) P–2,Q–1,R–4,S–3

Explanation

Bingham materials require a yield stress before flow. Dilatants shear-thicken; pseudoplastics shear-thin. Newtonian materials have constant viscosity and a linear stress–shear-rate relation. Therefore **P–2,Q–1,R–4,S–3,B**.
