Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: Uttar Pradesh shares its borders with the highest number of Indian states. It borders 8 states (Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Bihar) and one Union Territory (Delhi).

Statement 2 is incorrect: West Bengal shares the longest international border among all Indian states. It has a total international border of over 2,500 km (including a 2,217 km border with Bangladesh, along with borders with Bhutan and Nepal). Rajasthan shares a 1,070 km border with Pakistan, which is not the longest.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Sikkim is not the only state sharing its boundary with just one other Indian state. Meghalaya also shares its boundary with only one Indian state (Assam).

Since the question asks for the statements that are not correct, the correct answer is 2 and 3.
