grammaticality - Preposition: "[In] Which city are you located [in]?"




  1. In which city are you located?

  2. Which city are you located in?

  3. Which city are you located?



I know the first is grammatically correct, and the second used frequently in conversation, but my question is this:


I know you would answer using the preposition such as “I live in Denver”, but is the preposition in necessary when asking the question as stated in the third sentence?


Case in point: “What time is the meeting?” This is something I’d say in conversation, but am having doubts as to whether I need to say, “At what time is the meeting?”
