{'jaipur': [2, 0, 1, 5], 'respective latitude': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'longitude': [4, 2, 2, 1], 'delhi': [4, 0, 4, 1], 'allahabad': [2, 0, 0, 3], 'lucknow': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

The given coordinates (28.38 N and 77.12 E) represent the latitude and longitude of a specific location. To determine which place corresponds to these coordinates, we need to understand the concept of latitude and longitude.

Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator and is represented by the North (N) or South (S) suffix. In this case, the latitude is 28.38 N, which means the location is 28.38 degrees north of the equator.

Longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian and is represented by the East (E) or West (W) suffix. The given longitude is 77.12 E, indicating that the location is 77.12 degrees east of the Prime Meridian.

Based on these coordinates, we can see that the latitude is positive, indicating that the location is north of the equator. And the longitude is positive, suggesting that it is east of the Prime Meridian.

Comparing these coordinates with the given options, we find that the correct answer is option 2, Delhi.
