P, Q, R and S are four metals whose typical reactions are given below. (I) Only Q and R react with dilute HCl to give H ₂ gas. (II) When Q is added to a solution containing the ions of the other metals, metallic P , R and S are formed. (III) P reacts with concentrated HNO ₃ but S does not. The correct order of their reducing character is:
Options
- AS < P < R < Q
- BS < R < P < Q
- CR < Q < P < S
- DQ < P < S < R
