Golden Quadrilateral Highway Network
The Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) is a major national highway network in India connecting the four major metropolises: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata.
The project aims to shorten the distances between these major cities and improve transportation efficiency.
Identifying the Correct Route
Let's examine the options provided:
- Option 1: Delhi-Jaipur-Agra-Meerut - This route involves cities in North India but does not represent the entire Golden Quadrilateral.
- Option 2: Delhi-Mumbai-Bangalore-Kolkata - This includes Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, but Bangalore is not a direct part of the primary GQ route connecting these four cities.
- Option 3: Delhi-Pune-Chennai-Bhubaneshwar - This includes Delhi and Chennai but misses Mumbai and Kolkata, replacing them with Pune and Bhubaneshwar.
- Option 4: Delhi-Mumbai-Chennai-Kolkata - This option correctly lists the four major metropolitan cities that form the vertices of the Golden Quadrilateral.
Therefore, the combination that comprises the Golden Quadrilateral is Delhi-Mumbai-Chennai-Kolkata.
