Which of the following with reference to Indian States is/are not correct?
- Uttar Pradesh shares its boundary with the highest number of other Indian States.
- Rajasthan shares the longest international border among all Indian States.
- Sikkim is the only State that shares its boundary with just one other Indian State.
Select the answer using the code given below:
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Uttar Pradesh shares boundaries with 8 Indian States (Uttarakhand, HP, Haryana, Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar) plus Delhi UT — the highest among Indian States; Assam comes second at 7. So statement 1 IS correct. Rajasthan does NOT share the longest international border — West Bengal shares the longest international boundary at 2,217 km with Bangladesh (Rajasthan-Pakistan is only ~1,070 km); statement 2 is incorrect. Sikkim borders only West Bengal among Indian states, but it is NOT the ONLY such state — Meghalaya also borders only one Indian state (Assam); hence statement 3 as worded is incorrect. NOT correct = 2 and 3, giving (c).
