Which one of the following is the correct order in which the following cities are located from West to East?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

To determine the West to East order, we compare the longitudes of the four cities. Alwar (Rajasthan) is the westernmost city, located at approximately 76.60° E [t3]. Moving eastward, Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) is situated at approximately 83.37° E. Further east is Ranchi (Jharkhand), located at approximately 85.33° E [c1]. Finally, Bhagalpur (Bihar) is the easternmost among these, situated at approximately 86.97° E [t3]. The longitudinal progression from West to East is Alwar (76.6° E) → Gorakhpur (83.3° E) → Ranchi (85.3° E) → Bhagalpur (86.9° E). This sequence aligns with the geographical layout of India, moving from the western state of Rajasthan through the central-northern plains of Uttar Pradesh to the eastern states of Jharkhand and Bihar. Therefore, the correct order is Alwar-Gorakhpur-Ranchi-Bhagalpur.
