Explanation

‘Here is a novel way’ in 1 connects to ‘Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's tour of Holland’ in S. ‘This’ in Q connects with ‘how to encourage cycling in U.P.’ in S. The pronoun ‘it’ in R refers to the ‘inventiveness of the political brain’ in P. Thus, R follows P. 6 connects with R in ‘studies and study report being submitted’.
