Explanation

The correct West to East arrangement of these mountain ranges is based on their longitudinal positions:

  • Pontic Mountains (2): Located in northern Turkey, stretching along the Black Sea coast (approx. 32°E to 41°E).
  • Zagros Mountains (4): Located primarily in Iran, extending from the northwest to the Persian Gulf (approx. 45°E to 55°E).
  • Hindu Kush (3): Located in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, forming a westward extension of the Pamir Knot (approx. 68°E to 75°E).
  • Karakoram (1): Located in the border region of Pakistan, India, and China, situated east of the Hindu Kush (approx. 74°E to 78°E).

Thus, the sequence from West to East is 2 (Pontic), 4 (Zagros), 3 (Hindu Kush), and 1 (Karakoram).
