Had you worked hard (P) you would certainly have (Q) in time (R) succeeded in the examination. (S)
Answer: B
The correct order is PRQS: Had you worked hard in time you would certainly have succeeded in the examination.
Had you worked hard (P) is an inverted conditional, meaning If you had worked hard, so it must open the sentence. In time (R) completes that condition: working hard early enough. The result clause follows, and its verb must stay together: you would certainly have (Q) succeeded in the examination (S).
PQRS gives would certainly have in time succeeded, splitting the verb phrase awkwardly. SPRQ and SRQP begin with succeeded in the examination, which has no subject and cannot start the sentence.
