    Solution

    (e) is the right answer. 1-Q-R-P-S-T is the correct sequence. (1) has been given to us as the first statement. It states that for some of the poorest rural families in India, goat rearing is an important source of income. Q follows (1). It states that goats are managed exclusively by women and this is an exception as farming-related activities are mostly managed by men. R follows Q. The pronoun THEY refers to women. It states that the women look after the goats. P follows R. It states that the money women earn through goat rearing stays with them. S and T form a pair. S talks about how various studies have shown that when women are in charge of the finances, they spend it in a way that improves the quality of life of the entire family. T ends the passage by stating the areas where women spend the cash.
