Q1. Which one of the following is the correct descending order of the coffee-producing states of India?
Explanation
India’s coffee production is concentrated mainly in the southern states. The usual descending order is Karnataka first, followed by Kerala, then Tamil Nadu, and then Andhra Pradesh. The sequence placing Andhra Pradesh ahead of Tamil Nadu is therefore incorrect. The sequence placing Tamil Nadu ahead of Kerala also reverses two major producing states. The sequence beginning with Andhra Pradesh is plainly wrong because Karnataka is the leading coffee producer. Hence the correct descending order is Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
