The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line that marks the northernmost point where the Sun appears directly overhead at noon during the summer solstice. The Tropic of Cancer passes through several states of India from east to west.

Option 1: The states listed are Gujarat, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh. However, the states are not arranged correctly from east to west.

Option 2: The states listed are West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat. This is the correct arrangement from east to west, as the Tropic of Cancer passes through these states in this order.

Option 3: The states listed are Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. This arrangement is not correct.

Option 4: The states listed are Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, and West Bengal. This arrangement is not correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, which correctly arranges the states from east to west: West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.
