Mumbai is served by several major National Highways. NH3 (Mumbai-Agra), NH4 (Mumbai-Pune-Bangalore), and NH8 (Mumbai-Delhi) all originate or terminate in Mumbai. NH6 runs across central India (Hazira to Kolkata) and does not serve Mumbai.

The pattern adds 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, then 6: 4+2=6, 6+3=9, 9+4=13, 13+5=18, 18+6=24. Each step increases the difference by 1.

Mumbai's water supply primarily comes from lakes like Vihar, Tulsi, Tansa, and Modak Sagar. Rivers are not the major source, ground water is limited in a coastal city, and sea water requires desalination which is not the primary supply.

In computing, 1 Kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1,024 bytes. Therefore, 10 KB is 10 * 1,024, which equals 10,240 bytes. The other options represent 1 KB, 100 KB, or 1000 KB incorrectly.

Approximately 60% of Mumbai's population lives in slums, making it one of the cities with the largest slum populations globally. This statistic is well-documented in census reports and urban studies.
