A Correct answer
Explanation

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. Mumbai (option 3) is at sea level, Delhi (option 4) is around 216 meters, Shimla (option 1) is about 2,276 meters, and Gangtok (option 2) is approximately 1,650 meters. Therefore, the correct decreasing order of atmospheric pressure is Mumbai > Delhi > Shimla > Gangtok, which matches option 3-4-1-2.
