Explanation

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). According to the Human Development Report 2023-24, which provides the HDI values for the year 2022, the rankings and values for the specified countries are as follows:

  • Hong Kong, China (SAR): HDI value 0.956 (Rank 4)
  • Australia: HDI value 0.946 (Rank 10)
  • Japan: HDI value 0.920 (Rank 24)
  • Russia (Russian Federation): HDI value 0.821 (Rank 56)

Arranging these in descending order (from highest to lowest HDI score) gives: Hong Kong (3) > Australia (4) > Japan (1) > Russia (2). Therefore, the correct sequence is 3, 4, 1, 2. The HDI is calculated based on three dimensions: life expectancy, education (mean and expected years of schooling), and GNI per capita (PPP).
