The first complete census of an Indian city was conducted in _____.
1830
The question asks in which year the first complete census of an Indian city was conducted.
The first complete census of an Indian city was carried out in 1830, in the city of Dhaka (Dacca), under British administration.
This was an early attempt at systematic population enumeration, well before the regular decennial censuses of British India began.
It was conducted by Henry Walter and is regarded as a pioneering effort in Indian census history.
The first non-synchronous all-India census came later in 1872 under Lord Mayo, and the first synchronous census in 1881 under Lord Ripon.
The years 1810, 1840 and 1820 do not correspond to this first city census, so they are incorrect.
Hence the correct answer is 1830.
1830.
