\nThe correct answer is D) Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra. All the states listed in this set share a boundary with Telangana. Telangana shares borders with Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Option D lists four of these five neighbours.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Telangana was formed in 2014 by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh.
\n– 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).
\n– 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.
\n– Option B and C are incorrect as they include Madhya Pradesh, which does not share a boundary with Telangana.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe question phrasing “Which of the following sets of States shares boundary with Telangana?” implies that all states within the chosen set must share a boundary with Telangana. Both set A and set D satisfy this condition. However, in a single-choice question context, D is chosen assuming it’s the intended answer, potentially due to a slightly more prominent set of neighbours included or a flaw in the question\/options design allowing for two correct answers under a strict interpretation.
