Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: The city of an institution is identified from its official campus or administrative address. For a historical examination question, the address valid at the time of the examination is the relevant reference.
Application: South Asian University was functioning at Akbar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi when this 2015 question was asked. Its official address therefore places the university in New Delhi.
Contrast:
Colombo is a major city of Sri Lanka and its commercial capital.
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh.
Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal.
Cross-check: Current official South Asian University contact information also gives its campus address in New Delhi.
Result: South Asian University is situated in New Delhi.
