  1. Lumbini
  2. Bodhgaya
  3. Sarnath

Arrange these places from East to West:
Answer: 2, 4, 3, 1
Notes: The correct east-to-west order is: Bodhgaya (in Bihar) → Kushinagar (in eastern Uttar Pradesh) → Sarnath (near Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh) → Lumbini (in present-day Nepal, to the far west of the other three). Hence, the correct sequence is 2, 4, 3, 1.
