B) Goa
C) Karnataka
D) Andhra Pradesh

Answer 1

Hint: Maharashtra is a state in India's western and central peninsular area that encompasses much of the Deccan Plateau. This state contains the geographic centre of India. Maharashtra is India's second-most populated state and the world's third-most populous country subdivision. It was created on May 1, 1960, when the bilingual Bombay State, which had existed since 1956, was split into halves.

Complete answer:
Maharashtra is a state in India that covers a large chunk of the Deccan plateau in the western peninsular region of the country. Its shape is basically that of a triangle, with the western coastline constituting the base and the interior narrowing to a blunt apex 500 miles (800 kilometres) to the east.

Maharashtra is bordered on the northwest by Gujarat, on the north by Madhya Pradesh, on the east by Chhattisgarh, on the southeast by Telangana, on the south by Karnataka, and on the southwest by Goa, and on the west by Dadra and Nagar Haveli and the Arabian Sea.

Mumbai (previously Bombay), Maharashtra's capital, is an island metropolis off the western coast connected to the mainland by highways and trains. Maharashtra, dubbed the "Gateway to India," is one of the country's largest commercial and industrial centres, as well as a major player in the country's social and political life.

Andhra Pradesh is the only state in India that does not border Maharashtra. Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Maharashtra is the most productive state in India in terms of agriculture and industry, trade and transportation, and education. Its historic culture, which was once largely veiled by British control, has been preserved mostly through a great literary heritage.
