Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) The largest Buddhist monastery in India is in Assam
Tawang Monastery—the largest Buddhist monastery in India—is located in Arunachal Pradesh, not Assam, so statement (a) is incorrect. The Konyak language is indeed spoken in Nagaland; Majuli in Assam is recognised as the world’s largest river island; and the 2001 Census shows Sikkim as India’s least-populated state, so statements (b), (c) and (d) are correct.
