The largest city by population in Assam is which city?

• A. Dispur
• B. Guwahati
• C. Itanagar
• D. Shillong

Answer: (B)

The city with the largest population in Assam is Guwahati. This question tests your knowledge of which urban center in Assam has the greatest number of people, not which city serves as the capital. Guwahati is the state’s major economic, educational, and transportation hub, drawing people from across the region and forming the largest urban area in Assam. Itanagar is the capital of Arunachal Pradesh, and Shillong is the capital of Meghalaya—both are outside Assam and have smaller populations than Guwahati. Dispur is the administrative capital of Assam and is essentially a part of Guwahati, not a separate, larger city. So Guwahati is the correct choice because it has the highest population among Assam’s cities.
