India is seventh-largest country and second in population in the world. It is a country of Asia. Delhi is the capital of India. There are a total of states and union territories in India at present. Each state has their capitals. Each state of India has an administrative, legislative and judicial capital some state. These functions are conducted in one capital.
Ravi plotted some capitals as points on a graph paper and named them as etc. as shown below:
The list of the cities which are marked in the graph are given using the table:
Names Marked in Graph | City Name | Names Marked in Graph | City Name |
---|---|---|---|
A | New Delhi | H | Kolkata |
