Which one among the following capital cities of the Union Territories of India is located at coordinates 11.62° North and 92.72° East?
Sri Vijaya Puram
The coordinates 11.62° North and 92.72° East fall on South Andaman Island in the Bay of Bengal.
Sri Vijaya Puram (formerly known as Port Blair) is the capital of the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and lies at these coordinates. Kavaratti (capital of Lakshadweep) lies in the Arabian Sea, Puducherry lies on India's southeastern mainland coast, and Chandigarh lies in the northern plains — none matches this position.
Hence, the answer is Sri Vijaya Puram.
