P. His simple way of life and integrity had earned him a lot of respect.

Q. People from distant villages came to him for advice and help.

R. Hari was known throughout the district as an honest man.

S. They trusted him more than they trusted the officials.

To arrange the given sentences in a meaningful and logical order, let us analyze the context and the relationships between the sentences:

1. Sentence R: "Hari was known throughout the district as an honest man."
This sentence introduces the main subject (Hari) and sets the context by describing his reputation. Therefore, it is the most logical starting sentence of the paragraph.

2. Sentence P: "His simple way of life and integrity had earned him a lot of respect."
This sentence elaborates on Hari's character traits (integrity, simple lifestyle) and the consequence of his honesty mentioned in R (earning respect). It connects directly to Sentence R, making RP the opening sequence.

3. Sentence Q: "People from distant villages came to him for advice and help."
This shows a practical outcome of the respect he earned, as described in Sentence P. People sought him out because they respected him.

4. Sentence S: "They trusted him more than they trusted the officials."
Here, the pronoun "They" refers back to the "People from distant villages" mentioned in Sentence Q. It explains why they traveled all the way to seek his advice and help, forming a strong link between Q and S (QS).

Combining these logical steps, the correct sequence of sentences is RPQS.

Therefore, the correct option is RPQS.
