In terms of area and population the largest urban agglomeration in India is
  1. a.Mumbai
  2. b.Delhi
  3. c.Kolkata
  4. d.Chennai

Answer: (A) Mumbai

Answer as of 2017 — this may have changed since.

As per 2011 Census urban agglomeration data, Greater Mumbai was recorded as India's largest urban agglomeration; note that by more recent estimates and different measurement methodologies, the Delhi NCR urban agglomeration has since overtaken Mumbai in population, so this ranking is worth treating as time-bound rather than a permanent fact.
