Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

The question refers to the old numbering system of Indian National Highways. NH-2 (now part of NH-19) connected Delhi to Kolkata via Agra, Allahabad, and Varanasi [1]. NH-4 (now part of NH-48) linked Thane (near Mumbai) to Chennai through Pune and Bengaluru. NH-7 (now part of NH-44) was the longest highway under the old system, running from Varanasi to Kanyakumari via Jabalpur, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Madurai [1]. NH-8 (now part of NH-48) connected Delhi to Mumbai via Jaipur and Ahmedabad [1]. Therefore, the correct matching is A-3 (NH-2: Delhi-Kolkata), B-2 (NH-4: Thane-Chennai), C-4 (NH-7: Varanasi-Kanyakumari), and D-1 (NH-8: Delhi-Mumbai). This corresponds to the sequence 3, 2, 4, 1.
