The question asks to arrange the states, Mizoram, Kerala, Goa, and Nagaland, in descending order based on their female literacy rates as per the 1991 Census.

Option 1, II, III, I, IV, suggests that Kerala had the highest literacy rate followed by Goa, Mizoram and then Nagaland.

Option 2, order II, I, III, IV, suggests that Kerala had the highest literacy rate, followed by Mizoram, Goa, and finally Nagaland.

Option 3, II, III, IV, I, puts Kerala first, followed by Goa, Nagaland and Mizoram.

Option 4, I, II, IV, III, suggests that Mizoram had the highest rate, then Kerala, Nagaland, and lastly Goa.

The correct answer, according to the provided answer, is option 2. This indicates that as per the 1991 Census, Kerala had the highest female literacy rate, followed by Mizoram, Goa, and lastly Nagaland. This order seems reasonable given Kerala`s reputation for high literacy rates and should be trusted unless contradicting information is found.
