Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) All four
• Amarkantak plateau is the meeting point of the Vindhyan, Satpura and Maikal ranges, so statement 1 is correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarkantak?utm_source=openai)) • Biligirirangan (BR) Hills are in Karnataka at the junction of Western and Eastern Ghats—not the Satpura system—so statement 2 is wrong. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biligiriranga_Hills?utm_source=openai)) • Seshachalam Hills are in southern Andhra Pradesh, but several Eastern-Ghat hill groups (e.g., Javadi, Shevaroy, Kolli) lie farther south in Tamil Nadu, so statement 3 is wrong. Therefore only one statement is correct.
