Q103 (CAPF/2022) Geography › Maps & Locations › Indian political geography Answer Verified

Which of the following sets of Indian States are landlocked and do not have an international boundary?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

In India, there are five states that are both landlocked and do not share any international land boundary. These states are Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana [2]. A landlocked state is defined as being entirely enclosed by land without access to a coastline. While states like Himachal Pradesh are landlocked, they share international borders with China. Similarly, Andhra Pradesh is not landlocked as it possesses a coastline along the eastern coast of India [2]. Telangana, which was established in 2014, is surrounded by Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Chhattisgarh, making it an interior landlocked state without international frontiers [2]. Therefore, the set containing Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana is the only one where all listed states meet both criteria of being landlocked and lacking an international boundary.
