Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) P–4,Q–3,R–1,S–2

Explanation

Cartesian motion uses three translations (PPP). Cylindrical motion uses one rotation and two translations (RPP). Spherical motion uses two rotations and radial translation (RRP). An articulated three-axis arm uses three rotations (RRR). **P–4,Q–3,R–1,S–2: B**.
