The two equations are y = x(2 - x) and y = (x - 1)(x - 3)


The root of these equations are points where the graph of the equations cuts the x axis; but at these points = 0


put y = 0; 0 = x(2 - x)


0 = (x - 1)(x - 3)


x = 0 or x = 2; x = 1 or x = 3


The values of x at P, Q, R are increasing towards the positive direction of x-axis


at P, x = 1 at Q, x = 2 at R, x = 3


P, Q, R are respectively (1, 2, 3)
