(a)The Western Ghats are relatively higher in their northern region
(b)The Anaimudi is the highest peak in the Western Ghats
(c)Tapti river lies to the south of Satpura.
(d)The Narmada and the Tapi river valleys are said to be old rift valleys.
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) The Western Ghats are relatively higher in their northern region
The Western Ghats rise to their greatest heights in the south (peaks like Anaimudi 2,695 m), not in the north; hence statement (a) is incorrect. Anaimudi is indeed the range’s highest peak, Tapti (Tapi) flows south of the Satpura range, and both Narmada and Tapi occupy ancient rift valleys—so statements (b), (c) and (d) are correct.
