Which one of the following is the correct sequence of Union Territories of India in the increasing order of their area ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct sequence of Union Territories in increasing order of their area is Lakshadweep, Chandigarh, Puducherry, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. According to official data, Lakshadweep is the smallest Union Territory with an area of approximately 32.62 sq km. Chandigarh follows with an area of 114 sq km. Puducherry (Pondicherry) is larger than Chandigarh, covering approximately 479 sq km. Finally, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are significantly larger than the others in this list, with a total area of approximately 8,249 sq km. While recent reorganizations have introduced Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir as the largest UTs, the relative ranking of the smaller territories remains consistent. Therefore, the sequence starting from the smallest (Lakshadweep) to the largest among the options (Andaman and Nicobar Islands) is correctly represented in Option 3.
