Question 4222

Which one of the following state of India has international boundary on its three sides?

Answer

Tripura

Why?

The correct option is Tripura. Mistake Points Tripura is a state in North-East India. It shares borders with Bangladesh, Mizoram and Assam. Tripura is surrounded by Bangladesh on its north, south and west . The length of its international border is 856 km (84 per cent of its total border). The state is connected with the rest of India by NH-44 that runs through Assam, Meghalaya, North Bengal, Kolkata and other parts of India. Confusion Points There are 3 Indian states which share international boundaries with 3 countries . They are Sikkim – Bhutan in the east, China in the north and Nepal in the west. West Bengal – Bangladesh in the east, Nepal in the north and Bhutan in the northeast. Arunachal Pradesh – Myanmar in the east, China in the north and Bhutan in the west. Hence, above Indian States are not mentioned in the options, thus, Tripura will be the correct answer as it is surrounded by Bangladesh on its north, south and west.
