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, located in Rajasthan, is the westernmost with a longitude of approximately 76.6°E [t2][t9]. Moving east, Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh is situated at approximately 83.3°E [t8][t10]. Further east is Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, located at approximately 85.3°E [t3][t7]. Finally, Bhagalpur in eastern Bihar is the easternmost among the group, situated at approximately 87.0°E. This sequence follows the general geographical progression from the Aravalli region of Rajasthan through the Indo-Gangetic plains of Uttar Pradesh and the Chota Nagpur plateau of Jharkhand to the eastern plains of Bihar. Therefore, the correct West to East order is Alwar-Gorakhpur-Ranchi-Bhagalpur.
