Out of three metals P, Q and R, P is less reactive than Q and R is more
reactive than P and Q both. Suggest an activity to arrange P, Q and R in
order of their decreasing reactivity.

Explanation:

solution...
given...
1)Out of three metals P, Q and R, P is less reactive than Q and R is more
reactive than P and Q both
2)an activity to arrange P, Q and R in
order of their decreasing reactivity.
here we can...
Taking...... metal P, metal Q and metal R. we know, when salt solution of a given metal is displaced by another metal then, reactivity of that metal is higher than metal present in salt. for example , salt of metal A + metal B → salt of metal B + metal A
then, reactivity of B > reactivity of A.
here, a/c to question,
P is less reactive than Q
so, Q > P .....(1)
it can be written as salt of metal P + metal Q → salt of metal Q + metal P
again, R is more reactive than P and Q both.
so, R > P and R > Q .......(2)
it can be written as
salt of metal P + metal R → salt of metal R + metal P
and salt of metal Q + metal R → salt of metal R + metal Q
from equations (1) and (2),
R > Q > P
hence, reactivity order is R > Q > P
i hope it helpfull to you...
