Namcha Barwa lies in the extreme eastern Himalaya (in Tibet/Arunachal sector), not in the Garhwal Himalaya; Nanda Devi is the highest peak of the Kumaon Himalaya in Uttarakhand; Nokrek peak is situated in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya, far from the Sikkim Himalaya. Hence only pair 2 is correctly matched. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namcha_Barwa?utm_source=openai))
