Amaravati is proposed to be the Capital City of which of the following State?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Andhra Pradesh
Amaravati is the capital city planned for Andhra Pradesh. When Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh on 2 June 2014, Hyderabad went to Telangana and was kept as the common capital of both states for ten years. Andhra Pradesh chose a new site on the banks of the Krishna in Guntur district, between Vijayawada and Guntur, and the foundation stone of Amaravati was laid on 22 October 2015.
The city is still being built, which is why the question calls it the proposed capital.
