Among the following cities, which one lies on a longitude closest to that of Delhi ?

Correct Option (A)

The approximate longitude of Delhi is 77.22°E. Bengaluru is situated at approximately 77.59°E. The absolute difference in longitude between Delhi and Bengaluru is calculated as |77.59°E - 77.22°E| = 0.37°. This represents the smallest longitudinal separation among the provided city options, thereby placing Bengaluru on a longitude closest to that of Delhi.

Incorrect Options:

The longitudes of the other cities and their absolute differences from Delhi (77.22°E) are as follows:

• Hyderabad: Located at approximately 78.49°E. The absolute difference from Delhi is |78.49°E - 77.22°E| = 1.27°.
• Nagpur: Located at approximately 79.09°E. The absolute difference from Delhi is |79.09°E - 77.22°E| = 1.87°.
• Pune: Located at approximately 73.85°E. The absolute difference from Delhi is |73.85°E - 77.22°E| = 3.37°.

When comparing these longitudinal differences, the value for Bengaluru (0.37°) is demonstrably smaller than those for Hyderabad (1.27°), Nagpur (1.87°), and Pune (3.37°). Consequently, these cities are not on longitudes closest to Delhi.
