What is the correct sequence of occurrence of the following cities in South-East Asia as one proceeds from south to north? 1. Bangkok 2. Hanoi 3. Jakarta 4. Singapore Select the correct answer using the code given below.
A
4-2-1-3
B
3-2-4-1
C
3-4-1-2
Correct Answer
D
4-3-2-1
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because the latitudinal positions of these cities from south to north are Jakarta (6°S), Singapore (1°N), Bangkok (13°N), and Hanoi (21°N). Other options are incorrect because they fail to recognize that Jakarta is the only city in the list located in the Southern Hemisphere, making it the definitive starting point for a south-to-north sequence. This question tests the core concept of latitudinal awareness and the relative spatial distribution of major capital cities in Southeast Asia.
