Which of the following with reference to Indian States is/are not correct ? 1. Uttar Pradesh shares its boundary with the highest number of other Indian States. 2. Rajasthan shares the longest international border among all Indian States. 3. Sikkim is the only State that shares its boundary with just one other Indian State. Select the answer using the code given below :
A
1 only
B
1 and 2
C
2 and 3
Correct answer
D
3 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Uttar Pradesh borders eight states, the most of any state. Statement 2 is wrong: West Bengal, with its roughly 2,200 km border with Bangladesh (plus Nepal and Bhutan), has the longest international border, not Rajasthan. Statement 3 is also wrong: Sikkim borders only West Bengal, but Meghalaya likewise borders only one state (Assam). So 2 and 3 are the incorrect statements.
