Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept: a “located in” static-GK item tests straightforward recall of the state where a specific, genuine heritage monument stands — each option here names a real, well-documented monument, but each one belongs to a different Indian state, so pinning down every option's true location settles the question.
Application: Khazana Building was built in 1580 CE by the Qutb Shahi rulers as the royal treasury (khazana) of the Golconda kingdom, standing next to Golconda Fort in Hyderabad. The Department of Archaeology and Museums converted it into the Khazana Building Museum in 2013, and it remains a heritage site within present-day Telangana.
Cross-check — the location of each remaining option:
Kangra Fort stands in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh — one of the oldest and largest hill forts in India, historically held by the Katoch dynasty.
Sher Shah Suri's Tomb stands in Sasaram, Bihar — built in the mid-16th century as the mausoleum of Sher Shah Suri.
Bibi-ka-Maqbara stands in Aurangabad, Maharashtra — built by Azam Shah for his mother Dilras Banu Begum, echoing the Taj Mahal's design.
Since only the Khazana Building Museum sits within Telangana, it is the monument the stem is asking about.
