Which of the following neighbouring countries of India has the highest number of million cities?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Pakistan.
Among India's neighboring countries, Pakistan has the highest number of million-plus cities.
Based on recent population data, Pakistan has several cities with populations exceeding one million, including Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Multan, and Hyderabad, with Islamabad and Quetta also crossing the mark.
-
Bangladesh has a few major million-plus cities, most notably Dhaka (which is a megacity), Chittagong, and Khulna.
-
Nepal has only one city with a population over one million: its capital, Kathmandu.
-
Sri Lanka does not have any cities with a population of one million or more. Its largest city, Colombo, is a major urban center but falls below the million-city threshold in terms of its municipal population.
Therefore, Pakistan leads the group with the highest number of million cities among the given options.
