Consider the following statements:
1. Amarkantak Hills are at the confluence of Vindhya and Sahyadri Ranges
2. Biligirirangan Hills constitute the easternmost part of Satpura Range
3. Seshachalam Hills constitute the southernmost part of Western Ghats.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
(a) Only one
b) Only two
c) All three
(d) None
Answer: D
Let’s analyze each statement:
- Amarkantak Hills are at the confluence of Vindhya and Sahyadri Ranges.
- This statement is incorrect. Amarkantak Hills are located in the Maikal Range of the Satpura Range. They are not at the confluence of the Vindhya and Sahyadri Ranges.
- Biligirirangan Hills constitute the easternmost part of the Satpura Range.
- This statement is incorrect. The Biligirirangan Hills, also known as BR Hills, are not part of the Satpura Range. They are located in the Eastern Ghats, specifically in the border region between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
- Seshachalam Hills constitute the southernmost part of the Western Ghats.
- This statement is incorrect. The Seshachalam Hills, also known as Tirumala Hills, are not part of the Western Ghats. They are located in the Eastern Ghats in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Therefore, none of the given statements (Statement 1, Statement 2, and Statement 3) are correct. The correct answer is (d) None.
