Attempted by 6 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
The location of a state educational institution is established from its official departmental records and headquarters address.
A location question asks for the city named in those records, not automatically the state capital or another prominent educational centre.
Application
Official Uttar Pradesh records identify the Director, Bureau of Psychology (Manovigyanshala), at Allahabad. Therefore, the Bureau of Psychology, Uttar Pradesh, is situated in Allahabad.
Contrast and cross-check
Lucknow is the state capital, but that fact does not establish the bureau's headquarters there.
Agra is a major city in Uttar Pradesh, but it is not the location named in the bureau's official record.
Varanasi is an important educational centre, but it is not the location named in the bureau's official record.
The official record and the offered city value agree on Allahabad; the city is now officially named Prayagraj, while the 2018 option uses the historical name Allahabad.
Hence, the answer is Allahabad.
