Consider the following statements:
1. 1. Longitude of Jabalpur's location is between those of Indore and Bhopal
2. 2. Latitude of Aurangabad's location is between those of Vadodara and Pune
3. 3. Bangalore is situated more southward than Chennai.
Which of these statements is/are?
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1 Statement 1 is incorrect. Comparing approximate longitudes: Indore (~75.8°E), Bhopal (~77.4°E), Jabalpur (~79.9°E). Jabalpur's longitude is east of both Indore and Bhopal, not between them.
2 Statement 2 is correct. Comparing approximate latitudes: Vadodara (~22.3°N), Aurangabad (~19.9°N), Pune (~18.5°N). Aurangabad's latitude is indeed between that of Vadodara (to the north) and Pune (to the south).
3 Statement 3 is correct. Comparing approximate latitudes: Chennai (~13.08°N), Bangalore (~12.97°N). Bangalore is situated slightly more southward than Chennai.
