- **Why Statement 1 is correct:** Uttar Pradesh shares its domestic land borders with **eight states** (Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Bihar) plus the Union Territory of Delhi. This represents the highest number of internal borders for any Indian state.
- **Why Statement 2 is NOT correct:** **West Bengal** shares the longest international border among all Indian states, spanning approximately **2,217 km** along the Bangladesh frontier. In contrast, Rajasthan's international border with Pakistan is significantly shorter, measuring around **1,070 km**.
- **Why Statement 3 is NOT correct:** While Sikkim shares an internal boundary with only one other Indian state (West Bengal), it is not the *only* state with this feature. **Meghalaya** also shares its domestic land boundary with just one Indian state (Assam), making the exclusivity claim in the statement false.
