What is the capital of India?

New Delhi
Mumbai
Chennai
Bangalore

The correct answer is: New Delhi

New Delhi is the capital of India because it is the seat of the Indian government and home to major government institutions, including the Parliament and Supreme Court. Mumbai, Chennai, and Bangalore are major cities in India but they are not the capital. Mumbai is the financial capital of India, Chennai is the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu, and Bangalore is the capital of the state of Karnataka. Therefore, they are not the correct answer for the question asking about the capital of India. New Delhi, on the other hand, is both the national capital and the capital of the union territory of Delhi, making it the correct answer.
