Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 2 and 3
Indore lies at 75.83 °E, Bhopal at 77.27 °E and Jabalpur at 79.95 °E, so Jabalpur’s longitude is east of both and not between them, making statement 1 incorrect. Aurangabad (19.88 °N) is between the latitudes of Vadodara (22.30 °N) and Pune (18.52 °N), so statement 2 is correct. Bangalore (12.97 °N) is slightly south of Chennai (13.08 °N), so statement 3 is also correct; hence only statements 2 and 3 are right.
