Show Hint
- Baku
- Suva
- Samona
- Paloha
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
Step 1: The question asks about the capital of Fiji. Fiji is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean.
Step 2: Let us analyze the given options:
- (a) Baku - This is the capital of Azerbaijan, not Fiji.
- (b) Suva - This is the capital city of Fiji, located on the southeast coast of the island of Viti Levu.
- (c) Samona - This appears to be a misspelling or confusion with "Samoa," which is a different island country, whose capital is Apia.
- (d) Paloha - This is not the capital of Fiji and is not recognized as any country's capital.
Step 3: Since Suva is the internationally recognized capital of Fiji, the correct answer is option (b). \[ \boxed{\text{Suva}} \]
Approach Solution -2
This question is testing awareness of national capitals in the Pacific region, a topic that often comes up in current-affairs based general knowledge sections.
- Option 1 (Baku): Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan, a country in the Caucasus region, not an island nation in the Pacific, so it cannot be the answer.
- Option 2 (Suva): Suva sits on the southeast coast of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island, and has served as the seat of Fiji's government since colonial times, making it the actual capital.
- Option 3 (Samona): This name is close to "Samoa," a separate Pacific island nation whose capital is Apia, so it does not fit Fiji at all.
- Option 4 (Paloha): This is not a recognised capital city anywhere and does not correspond to any country.
Since Fiji's seat of government is Suva, option 2 is the one that fits the question.
Hence, the correct answer is Suva.
