UPSC CDS-1 – 2023
– Its neighbouring states are Maharashtra (North/North-West), Chhattisgarh (North/North-East), Odisha (North-East – a small border), Andhra Pradesh (East/South), and Karnataka (South/West).
– Option A (Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra) also lists states that all border Telangana. However, typically, in MCQs, there is only one correct answer. Given the options, both A and D contain sets where every listed state shares a boundary with Telangana. Assuming the question expects one specific set from the choices, and without further clarification or context that would differentiate A and D, both appear geographically correct. However, option D lists states covering borders in multiple directions (North, East, South, West). In some contexts, D might be preferred for including Chhattisgarh which has a longer border with Telangana than Odisha’s small border.
– Option B and C are incorrect as they include Madhya Pradesh, which does not share a boundary with Telangana.
