Explanation by: Admin
Cosmic radiation is higher at higher altitudes because there is less atmospheric shielding.

Among the given cities, Delhi has the highest elevation above sea level (~216 m), compared to:

Chennai (~6 m)

Mumbai (~14 m)

Kolkata (~9 m)


Since cosmic radiation intensity increases with altitude, Delhi receives the highest cosmic radiation among the four cities.
