(a)IV, I, III, II
(b)IV, I, II, III
(c)I, IV, III, II
(d)I, IV, II, III
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) IV, I, II, III
Looking at the longitudes of the former Yugoslav provinces, the eastern-most is Serbia (then called Yugoslavia), followed westward by Bosnia & Herzegovina, then Croatia and finally Slovenia. Therefore the east-to-west order is IV-I-II-III, i.e. option (b). Other sequences either place Slovenia ahead of Croatia or mis-place Bosnia, which contradicts the actual map positions.
