Answer 1

Hint: It is very well known as the silicon valley of India. Some of the world’s biggest corporations are situated here. Away from multinational companies, this state is also home to many startups.

Complete answer:
The capital of Karnataka state is, Bengaluru. Bengaluru, with a population of more than 80 lakh is the third most populous city and fifth-most populous urban assemblage in India. With a very delightful climate throughout the year, Bengaluru is situated on Deccan Plateau at the height of 900m over sea level. With an elevation of 900m, it is also among the highest cities above sea level.
The city dates back to 890 AD, as per a stone inscription found at Nageshwar Temple in Begur, Bangalore. The Begur inscription was written in Halegannada or ancient Kannada. Right After India’s independence in 1947, Mysore’s capital was Bangalore. Bengaluru was Kannada’s term and was declared as the official name of the city in 2006.
Because of the city’s leading role as the nation’s information technology (IT) exporter, Bangalore is known as the “Silicon Valley of India”. Bangalore is the second-fastest-growing metropolis in India. According to the recent estimates of the metro economy, the city is ranked as either the fourth or fifth most productive city of India. Bangalore has been the home to many educational and medical research institutions.
Many state-owned aerospace and defense organizations are situated in the city. Bangalore is also the house of the Kannada film industry. The city was founded by Kempe Gowda. The official language of the state is Kannada.
As per the 2011 census of India, 78.9 % of the Bangalore population is Hindu, Muslim accounts for 13.9% of the population, Christians, and Jains account for 5.6% and 1% respectively. 89% of the population of the city is literate. When compared to other cities like Mumbai(50%) and Nairobi(60%), relatively a lower proportion of the population lives in slum areas. Bangalore accounts for 8.5% of the total crimes from 35 major cities.

The correct answer is option B.

Note: Bangalore suffers from major urbanization problems as seen in other fast-growing cities in developing countries because of quickly escalating social inequality, mass displacement, rising slum settlements, and epidemic health issues from severe water shortage and drainage problems in poor and working neighborhoods.
