1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

1 Statement 1 is incorrect. Comparing approximate longitudes: Indore (~75.8°E), Bhopal (~77.4°E), Jabalpur (~79.9°E). Jabalpur's longitude is east of both Indore and Bhopal, not between them. 2 Statement 2 is correct. Comparing approximate latitudes: Vadodara (~22.3°N), Aurangabad (~19.9°N), Pune (~18.5°N). Aurangabad's latitude is indeed between that of Vadodara (to the north) and Pune (to the south). 3 Statement 3 is correct. Comparing approximate latitudes: Chennai (~13.08°N), Bangalore (~12.97°N). Bangalore is situated slightly more southward than Chennai.
