Indian States Population Ranking: Descending Order
This question requires arranging four Indian states based on their population in descending order (from highest to lowest). The states are Maharashtra (a), Uttar Pradesh (b), West Bengal (c), and Bihar (d).
Population Data for States (2011 Census)
| State Code | State Name | Population (2011 Census) |
|---|---|---|
| (b) | Uttar Pradesh | 19.98 Crore |
| (a) | Maharashtra | 11.24 Crore |
| (d) | Bihar | 10.41 Crore |
| (c) | West Bengal | 9.13 Crore |
Ordering States by Population
Based on the population figures from the 2011 Census:
- Uttar Pradesh (b) has the highest population.
- Maharashtra (a) has the second-highest population.
- Bihar (d) has the third-highest population.
- West Bengal (c) has the lowest population among the four.
Descending Population Order
Arranging the states by population in descending order gives the sequence:
Uttar Pradesh (b) > Maharashtra (a) > Bihar (d) > West Bengal (c)
Therefore, the correct code sequence is (b), (a), (d), (c).
