Detailed Solution
NH 4—Chennai and Hyderabad: Incorrect
The old NH 4 connected Mumbai/Thane with Chennai through Pune, Kolhapur, Belagavi, Hubballi, Bengaluru and Ranipet.
Its route did not pass through Hyderabad.
Therefore, NH 4 did not connect Chennai and Hyderabad.
NH 6—Mumbai and Kolkata: Incorrect
The old NH 6 started from the Hazira/Surat region of Gujarat and proceeded to Kolkata through Dhule, Jalgaon, Amravati, Nagpur, Raipur, Sambalpur and Kharagpur.
Although it passed through Maharashtra, its western terminal point was not Mumbai.
NH 15—Ahmedabad and Jodhpur: Incorrect
The old NH 15 started from Pathankot and proceeded to Samakhiali in Gujarat through Amritsar, Bathinda, Sri Ganganagar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Barmer.
It neither started from Ahmedabad nor was Jodhpur its designated terminal point.
