Palk Strait is a body of water that separates two land masses. Option 1, which states that it separates India and Pakistan, is incorrect. The correct answer is option 3, which states that it separates India and Sri Lanka. The Palk Strait is located between the southeastern coast of India and the northern coast of Sri Lanka. It is approximately 53-54 miles wide and has a maximum depth of about 100 meters. The strait is an important shipping route and is known for its strong tidal currents. It is also known for the Palk Bay, an adjoining shallow bay that is rich in marine biodiversity. Overall, Palk Strait serves as a significant geographical feature that separates India and Sri Lanka.
