Answer 1

Hint:
1) The word "region" is used by geographers to refer to any portion of the Earth's surface. In addition, area is a precise measurement of the size of a surface with specified boundaries.
2) Rajasthan is India's state with the largest geographical area.

Complete answer:
The geographical size for the states given in the questions are:
- Bihar - 94,163 km2
- Chhattisgarh - 135,192 km2
- Jharkhand - 28,833 square miles
- Odisha - 155,707 km2
- West Bengal - 88,752 square kilometres
- Tamil nadu - 130,058 km2

For the sequence to be in the ascending order of their geographical size their area must be in the increasing order:
(i) Bihar - Chhattisgarh - Jharkhand – Odisha it’s not in the ascending order because the area of Jharkhand is lower than that of the area of Chhattisgarh. Thus, option (A) is not the correct option.
(ii) Jharkhand - West Bengal - Tamil Nadu – Chhattisgarh this sequence is following the proper ascending order. Thus, option (B) is the correct answer.
(iii) West Bengal - Bihar - Chhattisgarh - Tamil Nadu the sequence is not in ascending order because area of Tamil nadu is less than that of area of Chhattisgarh. Thus, Option (C) is not the right answer.
(iv) Chhattisgarh - Jharkhand - Tamil Nadu – Odisha it’s not in the ascending order because the area of Jharkhand is lower than that of the area of Chhattisgarh. Thus, Option (D) is the right answer.

Hence, from the above explanation we conclude that Option (b) Jharkhand - West Bengal - Tamil Nadu – Chhattisgarh Is the Correct Answer.
