Uttar Pradesh, a state in northern India, shares its borders with several other states. However, it does not border Punjab, so options 1 (1, 2, 3, 4) and 3 (1 and 4) that contain Punjab as an option are incorrect. Similarly, Uttar Pradesh also does not border Jharkhand so option 1 (1, 2, 3, 4), and option 3 (1, 4) - both of which include Jharkhand - are incorrect.
Uttar Pradesh indeed shares a border with Rajasthan and Chattisgarh, so option 2 (2, 3 and 4), which includes these two states is correct. However, it does not border Jharkhand, so despite having Rajasthan and Chattisgarh as options, option 2 is still valid, because it`s not necessary that all states mentioned in an option must border Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 (2, 3, and 4).
