Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

To determine the east-to-west order, we must compare the longitudes of the cities. Murshidabad (West Bengal) is the easternmost, located at approximately 88°08' E. Moving west, Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) follows at approximately 83°22' E. Further west is Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), situated at approximately 77°24' E. Finally, Bhavnagar (Gujarat) is the westernmost city in this list, located at approximately 72°13' E. Therefore, the correct sequence from east to west is Murshidabad, Gorakhpur, Bhopal, and Bhavnagar. This corresponds to the numerical order 1, 2, 3, 4. This geographical arrangement reflects the transition from the eastern plains of the Padma/Ganges delta through the central highlands to the western coast of the Kathiawar peninsula.
