As per Census 2011, how many million plus cities were there in India?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to the Census of India 2011, there were 53 cities in India with a population of one million or more. Therefore, Option 2, which states "53," is the correct answer.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Option 1 (49):** The 2011 Census data does not support the existence of only 49 million-plus cities. The actual number was higher.

*   **Option 3 (51):** While 51 might be close to the actual number, the official Census 2011 data specifically identifies 53 million-plus cities.

*   **Option 4 (55):** The 2011 Census data does not support the existence of 55 million-plus cities. The actual number was lower.

Therefore, based on the Census of India 2011, Option 2 (53) is the only correct answer.
