Which one of the following is the correct order in which the following cities are located from West to East?

To determine the West to East order, we compare the longitudes of the four cities. Alwar, located in Rajasthan, is the westernmost with a longitude of approximately 76.6°E [t2][t9]. Moving east, Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh is situated at approximately 83.3°E [t8][t10]. Further east is Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, located at approximately 85.3°E [t3][t7]. Finally, Bhagalpur in eastern Bihar is the easternmost among the group, situated at approximately 87.0°E. This sequence follows the general geographical progression from the Aravalli region of Rajasthan through the Indo-Gangetic plains of Uttar Pradesh and the Chota Nagpur plateau of Jharkhand to the eastern plains of Bihar. Therefore, the correct West to East order is Alwar-Gorakhpur-Ranchi-Bhagalpur.
