Q118 (CDS-II/2006) Geography › Indian Physical Geography › Himalayan physiography Answer Verified

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Singalila Range is not located in Arunachal Pradesh; it is a prominent mountain ridge situated on the border of West Bengal and Sikkim, extending into Nepal [t3]. It is famous for the Singalila Ridge trek, which includes peaks like Sandakphu [t3]. In contrast, the other pairs are correctly matched: the Zanskar Range is a major Trans-Himalayan range located in the Union Territory of Ladakh and parts of Jammu and Kashmir [c2][t6]. The Dhauladhar Range is a significant part of the Lesser Himalayas primarily situated in Himachal Pradesh, near hill stations like Dalhousie [t4]. The Kumaon Range is located in the state of Uttarakhand, forming the eastern part of the Uttarakhand Himalayas between the Satluj and Kali rivers [t1][t3]. Therefore, option 3 is the incorrect pairing.
