Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : M/R

1. The sales representative visits S first.

2. The third company she visits must be P.

3. She must visit M before N. 

4. She must visit N before Q.

She visits M before N and N before Q. There are two possibilities here:
Case I: M is the second company visits.

1 S
2 M
3 P
4 N
5 Q
6 R


Case II: M is the fourth company she visits.But R is not in the option, hence, she must visit M immediately after S.

1 S
2 R
3 P
4 M
5 N
6 Q

 

Hence, M/R is the second company she visits.
