  1. Chhattisgarh
  2. Madhya Pradesh
  3. Maharashtra
  4. Odisha

With reference to the States mentioned above, in terms of percentage of forest cover to the total area of State, which one of the following is the correct ascending order?

Explanation

To determine the ascending order (lowest to highest) of forest cover as a percentage of the total geographical area of the state, we refer to the ISFR 2021 data:

  1. Maharashtra (3): 16.51%

  2. Madhya Pradesh (2): 25.14%

  3. Odisha (4): 33.50%

  4. Chhattisgarh (1): 41.21%

Ascending Order: 16.51% (Maharashtra) < 25.14% (Madhya Pradesh) < 33.50% (Odisha) < 41.21% (Chhattisgarh). Therefore, the correct sequence is 3-2-4-1.
