{'jabalpur': [1, 0, 3, 0], 'longitude': [4, 2, 2, 1], 'bangalore': [6, 0, 7, 2], 'latitude': [2, 0, 0, 4], 'southward': [0, 2, 1, 0], 'indore': [0, 0, 3, 6], 'chennai': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'aurangabad': [6, 0, 2, 1], 'location': [5, 0, 10, 11], 'bhopal': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'vadodara': [2, 2, 4, 2]}

Option 1 posits that both statements 1 and 3 are true. Statement 1 suggests that the longitude of Jabalpur’s location lies between Indore and Bhopal, which is false because Jabalpur is east of both cities. Statement 3 asserts that Bangalore is south of Chennai, which is true as Bangalore is indeed located more southward than Chennai.

Option 2 stresses that only statement 2 is true. This statement proposes that Aurangabad`s latitude is between those of Vadodara and Pune. However, this is false as Aurangabad is north of Pune and south of Vadodara, not in between.

Option 3 proposes that both statements 2 and 3 are accurate. As explained earlier, only statement 3 is correct, and hence this option contains one false statement and one true statement.

The fourth option indicates that all three statements are correct which, as we have already established, is not the case.

Thus, the correct answer provided is in line with these evaluations.
