Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Literacy rate refers to the percentage of literate people in the population aged seven years and above. The Census of India 2011 provides literacy data for all states.

Step 1: Identify literacy rates of the given states. Approximate literacy rates according to Census 2011 are:
• Tripura -- \(87.22%\)
• Sikkim -- \(81.42%\)
• Uttarakhand -- \(78.82%\)
• Assam -- \(72.19%\)
• Arunachal Pradesh -- \(65.38%\)

Step 2: Arrange from highest to lowest literacy rate. Arranging in descending order: \[ 87.22 > 81.42 > 78.82 > 72.19 > 65.38 \] Thus, the sequence becomes: \[ A, D, C, B, E \]

Step 3: Match with the options. The sequence: \[ A, D, C, B, E \] matches option (C).

Step 4: Conclusion. Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{A, D, C, B, E} \]
