Show answer
Answer: D. Statement 1 is wrong: Amarkantak is where the Vindhya and Satpura ranges meet (Maikal Hills), not the Sahyadri. Statement 2 is wrong: Biligirirangan Hills are in Karnataka where the Eastern and Western Ghats meet, not part of the Satpura. Statement 3 is wrong: Seshachalam Hills in Andhra Pradesh are part of the Eastern Ghats. So none.
Watch for: Each statement names a real hill with a real nearby range, just the wrong one.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because all three statements are incorrect.
- B. Wrong because all three statements are incorrect.
- C. Wrong because all three statements are incorrect.
