Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P–3,Q–2,R–4,S–1

Explanation

Rubber rolls compress and shear the husk. The Gota machine uses abrasive/frictional treatment. The under-runner disc sheller combines shear, compression and friction. The blade-type emery scourer includes impact with abrasion/friction. Thus **P–3,Q–2,R–4,S–1,A**.
