Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Sawai Jai Singh II built five observatories (Jantar Mantar) at Jaipur, Delhi, Ujjain, Varanasi (Banaras), and Mathura, completed between 1724 and 1735. Each option lists four cities, so the task is to pick the group in which every listed city is a genuine observatory site. Mathura, Ujjain, Delhi, and Banaras are all from this set, whereas the other groups each include Agra or Allahabad, which never had a Sawai Jai Singh observatory.
