Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Each place is matched with the state, or the nearest city, where it lies.
(A) Rohtang Pass — this matches (IV) Himachal Pradesh. The pass, at about 3,980 m on the Pir Panjal range, links the Kullu valley with Lahaul and Spiti.
(B) Aravalli Range — this matches (III) Rajasthan. One of the oldest fold mountains in the world, it runs across Rajasthan from south-west to north-east; Guru Shikhar on Mount Abu is its highest peak.
(C) Barren Island — this matches (II) Port Blair. India’s only active volcano lies in the Andaman Sea, about 135 km north-east of Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
(D) Largest city on islands — this matches (I) Mumbai. Mumbai grew on seven islands that were joined by land reclamation, and stands on Salsette Island.
