Explanation

To solve this question, you need to look at the geographical location of these cities from west to east along the flight path from Delhi to Tokyo. 1. Bangkok (Thailand) is the furthest west among these four cities. 2. Hanoi (Vietnam) is located to the northeast of Bangkok. 3. Hong Kong is located further east and slightly north of Hanoi. 4. Taipei (Taiwan) is the furthest east, situated between Hong Kong and Tokyo. Therefore, the correct west-to-east sequence is Bangkok, Hanoi, Hong Kong, and then Taipei. This corresponds to the order IV, II, I, III, making option B the correct answer.
