Pulicat Lake lies near the boundary of which two states?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu
Pulicat Lake is a large brackish-water lagoon on the southeastern coast of India. It lies along the coastal area shared by Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, with most of the lagoon extending in Andhra Pradesh and its southern portion near Tamil Nadu. Its position near the boundary of these two states is the central geographic fact needed for the answer.
The other state pairs are not associated with Pulicat Lake. Kerala and Tamil Nadu are farther to the southwest, Karnataka and Goa lie on the west coast, and Odisha and Andhra Pradesh are associated with other coastal lagoons and river systems. Since Pulicat is beside the Andhra Pradesh–Tamil Nadu boundary, option D is correct. The word “near” is important because the lake is not required to lie equally within both states.
