📖Detailed Explanation
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Uttar Pradesh shares its internal domestic boundary with the highest number of other Indian jurisdictions-specifically 8 States (Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Bihar) and 1 Union Territory (Delhi).
Statement 2 is not correct: West Bengal holds the longest international border among all Indian states, sharing a massive 2,217 km long boundary with Bangladesh. Rajasthan shares a 1,037 km border with Pakistan, which is significantly shorter.
Statement 3 is not correct: Sikkim is not the only state to touch just one other Indian state. There are two such states in India: Sikkim, which only shares a domestic boundary with West Bengal. Meghalaya, which only shares a domestic boundary with Assam.
Since statements 2 and 3 are factually incorrect, option (c) is the correct choice.

Shubhankar's Journey
Our journey with Shubhankar began nearly 2 years ago. When he couldn't upload his GS1 mock due to a glitch, we fixed it immediately. After reading his answers, we knew: "You will rock the show!"
It was his second attempt, first mains. Nervous but exceptional quality. Months of evaluations, feedback, and fine-tuning followed. He renewed Zenith for 2025.
Result day: AIR 52. He called to express gratitude. That call meant everything.
Results do the talking. 🙏
