Question
Consider the following statements:
- In India, the Himalayas are spread over five States only.
- Western Ghats are spread over five States only.
- Pulicat Lake is spread over two States only.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)If you apply commonsense that Himalaya ought to be passing through international border states only i.e. J&K, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunanchal Pradesh = total 5 states. But we’ve to count the "eastern hills" also, because they’re part of Himalayan system as per NCERT Class 11 India- Physical Geography. So that’d cover Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram et al so definitely more than five states. Hence first statement is wrong. Western Ghats are spread over six States: Gujarat (southern part), Maharastra, Goa, Karnataka ,Kerala and Tamilnadu - so 2nd statement is wrong. By elimination we are left with Answer "B".
