Consider the following statements: 1. Longitude of Jabalpur’s location is between those of Indore and Bhopal 2. Latitude of Aurangabad’s location is between those of Vadodara and Pune 3. Bangalore is situated more southward than Chennai. Which of these statements is/are?

To understand why option C is the correct answer, we analyze each statement based on geographical coordinates. Statement 1 is incorrect. Bhopal and Indore are both located to the west of Jabalpur. On a map, Indore is at approximately 75 degrees East and Bhopal is at 77 degrees East, while Jabalpur is further east at approximately 79 degrees East. Therefore, Jabalpur does not fall between them. Statement 2 is correct. Looking at latitudes, Vadodara is at approximately 22 degrees North, Aurangabad is at 19.8 degrees North, and Pune is at 18.5 degrees North. This places Aurangabad between Vadodara and Pune. Statement 3 is correct. Although Bangalore and Chennai appear to be on a similar level, Bangalore is actually situated further south. Bangalore is at approximately 12.97 degrees North, while Chennai is slightly further north at approximately 13.08 degrees North. Since statements 2 and 3 are true, the correct option is C.
