With respect to the location of Delhi on the map of India the directions of the locations of Gandhinagar (Capital of Gujarat) and Patna (Capital of Bihar) respective are

  • A.south-east and south-west
  • B.south-west and south-east
  • C.north-east and south-west
  • D.south-west and north-east

Answer: B

From Delhi, Gandhinagar is south-west and Patna is south-east.

Delhi lies at about 28.6° N, 77.2° E. Gandhinagar (about 23.2° N, 72.6° E) is further south and further west, so it is to the south-west. Patna (about 25.6° N, 85.1° E) is further south and further east, so it is to the south-east.

A glance at the map confirms it: Gujarat is on the west coast below Rajasthan, and Bihar is in the east, below Nepal. The other options put one or both cities to the north of Delhi or swap east and west.
