Which one among the following major Indian cities is most eastward located?

Among the four cities, Lucknow is the most easterly. Standard geographic coordinates place Lucknow near 80.9°–81.0°E, which is east of Hyderabad (~78.4°–78.5°E), Bengaluru (~77.59°E) and Bhopal (~77.4°E). Bengaluru’s longitude is commonly listed as 77.5946°E , and India’s longitudinal extent runs approximately from 68°E to 97°E, confirming all four cities fall well within the country’s eastern-western span [1]. Comparing the longitudes directly, Lucknow’s ~81°E is the highest (most easterly), followed by Hyderabad, then Bengaluru and Bhopal, making Lucknow the correct choice for the most eastward located major city in the list.
