Q. The national highway from Amritsar to Kolkata via Delhi is numbered
✅ Correct Answer: (B)
2
Explanation:
The old National Highway number 2 (NH 2) connected Delhi to Kolkata via Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, etc.
- However, the Amritsar to Delhi stretch was part of NH 1 under the old numbering.
- But under the new National Highway renumbering system (post-2010), the entire route from Amritsar–Delhi–Kolkata is now designated as National Highway 19 (NH 19) and NH 44 in segments.
Since the question seems to refer to the old numbering system, the combined route was popularly known through NH 1 and NH 2, with NH 2 covering the major Delhi to Kolkata stretch.
So, the most appropriate answer in this context is: (B) 2.
