Consider the following pairs: Hills : Region 1. Cardamom Hills : Coromandel Coast 2. Kaimur Hills : Konkan Coast 3. Mahadeo Hills : Central India 4. Mikir Hills : North-East India Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?
A
1 and 2
B
2 and 3
C
3 and 4
Correct Answer
D
2 and 4
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because the Mahadeo Hills are part of the Satpura Range in Central India (Madhya Pradesh), and the Mikir Hills are located in Assam, North-East India. Pair 1 is a common distractor but is incorrect because the Cardamom Hills are situated in the Western Ghats (near the Malabar Coast), not the eastern Coromandel Coast. The core concept tested is the spatial distribution of India's physiographic features and mountain ranges.
