{'indian states': [5, 1, 5, 8], 'haryana': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'surface roads': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'maharashtra': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'order': [6, 12, 34, 35], 'area': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'length': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The question asks to arrange the given Indian states in the descending order based on the length of surface roads per 100 km2 of their area.

Option 1: This is the correct answer which shows the sequence as Tamil Nadu (IV), Maharashtra (II), Punjab (III), and Haryana (I). Tamil Nadu has the highest length of surface roads per 100 km² followed by Maharashtra, Punjab, and Haryana.

Option 2: This sequence is incorrect because it ranks Punjab (III) higher than Maharashtra (II) and Haryana (I).

Option 3: This option is also incorrect as it suggests Punjab (III) has the highest length of surface roads per 100 km², which is inaccurate.

Option 4: This sequence incorrectly places Punjab (III) as the state with the highest length of surface roads per 100 km² and ranks Haryana (I) lower than it should be.

It is important to know the state`s area and the total length of surface roads in those states to arrange them in the correct order.
