{'tribe population': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'indian states': [5, 1, 5, 8], 'total population': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'rough outline map': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'order': [6, 12, 34, 35]}

The question is a geographical one, asking for the correct sequence of Indian states with the highest to lowest ratio of Scheduled Tribe population to their total population. This order is based on the percentage of the Scheduled Tribe population within each state`s total population.

Option 1 presents the sequence as 1, 3, 2, 4.

Option 2, which is the correct answer, presents it as 3, 1, 2, 4. This order indicates that State 3 has the highest percentage of Scheduled Tribe population, followed by State 1, then State 2, and finally State 4 with the least percentage.

Option 3 lists the sequence as 3, 1, 4, 2, suggesting State 4 has a higher Scheduled Tribe to total population ratio than State 2, which according to the correct answer, is incorrect.

Option 4 proposes the sequence as 1, 3, 4, 2, indicating that State 1 has the highest percentage, which also contradicts the correct answer.

It’s important to note, your need to correctly interpret the geographical data and demographic information to answer such questions.
