Answer: C. Statement 1 is correct: Uttar Pradesh borders eight states, the most of any state. Statement 2 is not correct: West Bengal has the longest international border (mostly with Bangladesh), not Rajasthan. Statement 3 is not correct: Meghalaya also borders only one state (Assam), so Sikkim is not the only one. So 2 and 3 are not correct.
Watch for: Sikkim does border only West Bengal, so students mark statement 3 true and forget Meghalaya.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because statement 1 is actually correct.
- B. Wrong because statement 1 is correct, and statement 3 is not correct.
- D. Wrong because statement 2 is also not correct.
