Consider the following statements: 1. Longitude of Jabalpur’s location is between those of Indore and Bhopal 2. Latitude of Aurangabad’s location is between those of Vadodara and Pune 3. Bangalore is situated more southward than Chennai. Which of these statements is/are?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

Reviewing city coordinates shows Indore at about 75°50'E and Jabalpur near 79°59'E, so Jabalpur lies east of Indore and not longitudinally between Indore and Bhopal; statement (1) is false. Aurangabad’s latitude (~19.9°N) falls between Vadodara (about 22.3°N) and Pune (≈18.52°N), so statement (2) is true (Pune’s latitude is listed below). Bengaluru (12.97194°N) is slightly south of Chennai (13.08784°N), making statement (3) true. Therefore only statements 2 and 3 are correct, corresponding to option 3. Citations: Indore and Jabalpur longitudes from the Madhya Pradesh lat-long listing; Pune, Bengaluru and Chennai latitudes from the India cities coordinates table.
