- a.NH-5
- b.NH-8

Answer: (C) NH-3
Answer as of 2018 — this may have changed since.
Under the old numbering a traveller from Kolkata to Mumbai via Agra took NH-2 (Delhi-Agra-Kolkata) up to Agra and then NH-3, the Agra-Bombay Road, through Gwalior, Indore and Nashik. The direct Kolkata-Mumbai highway was NH-6 (via Nagpur). NH-5 ran along the east coast towards Chennai and NH-8 was Delhi-Jaipur-Ahmedabad-Mumbai.
