Correct answer
2, 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 7
Why this answer is correct
The provided sequence represents the Continents of the World arranged in descending order based on their total geographical land area.
2. Asia is the largest continent, covering approximately 44,579,000 square kilometers, which is about 30% of Earth's total land area. Hence, 2 is the first entry.
3. Africa ranks as the second-largest continent, spanning roughly 30,370,000 square kilometers and accounting for about 20% of the planet's land surface. Hence, 3 follows Asia.
1. North America is the third-largest continent with an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers. Hence, 1 is the third entry.
4. South America occupies the fourth position, covering an area of approximately 17,840,000 square kilometers. Hence, 4 is the fourth entry.
6. Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, encompassing about 14,200,000 square kilometers and is nearly double the size of Australia. Hence, 6 is the fifth entry.
5. Europeis the sixth-largest continent, measuring roughly 10,180,000 square kilometers. Hence, 5 is the sixth entry.
7. Australia is the smallest continent on Earth, covering approximately 8,600,000 square kilometers. Hence, 7 is the final entry.
Now,
Correct order is: 2, 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 7
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.
