P. By the time it reaches the rooms, the sun has set and the air outside is cooler.
Q. Modern architects are now studying these buildings to design homes that need no air conditioners.
R. Their walls are very thick, so the heat of the day takes hours to pass through.

T. Many old buildings in Rajasthan stay cool even in the hottest summer.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
T opens: the old buildings stay cool. R gives the first reason: thick walls.
P says what happens by the time "it", the heat, reaches the rooms. S adds more features, and Q says who is studying "these buildings".
So the order is TRPSQ.
Worth noting
RTPSQ opens with "their walls", which have nothing to belong to until the buildings are named.
