State of Assam shares borders with how many other countries and Indian states respectively ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Assam is a key northeastern state that shares international borders with two countries: Bhutan to the north and Bangladesh to the west and south [3]. Domestically, Assam is bordered by seven Indian states. These include the 'Seven Sister' states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Meghalaya. Additionally, it shares a critical boundary with West Bengal to the west, which connects the region to the rest of mainland India via the Siliguri Corridor. Official records confirm that Assam's international boundary spans approximately 350 km with Bangladesh and 450 km with Bhutan [2]. The state's unique geography makes it the only state in the region to share a border with all other members of the Seven Sisters except for the 'brother' state, Sikkim, while maintaining a link with West Bengal.
