Detailed Solution

Order of 1t accepting tendency :

CO>PPh3>PEt3

PEt3 is a better a-donor than PPh3. Thus, PEt3

to CO thus, decreasing CO bond strength or stretching frequency v. Also, M-C bond becomes stronger in (P).

Similarly, σdonor, PEt3 electron density on Fe which back donates it to CO, decreasing C-0 bond strength or v. 

R has longer stretching frequency than 'S' and longer M-C bond than 'S'.
