Consider the following statements : 1. Amarkantak Hills are at the confluence of Vindhya and Sahyadri Ranges. 2. Biligirirangan Hills constitute the easternmost part of Satpura Range. 3. Seshachalam Hills constitute the southernmost part of Western Ghats. How many of the statements given above are correct?

Explicitly identifies Amarkantak (1064 m) as an important peak of the Satpura mountains, linking Amarkantak to the Satpura/Maikal/Satpura system rather than to the Western Ghats.

A student could check a map to see the relative positions of Satpura/Amarkantak versus the Western Ghats to assess whether Amarkantak lies at any Vindhya–Western Ghats junction.

Describes the Deccan Plateau's northern border formed by Satpura, Maikal range and Mahadeo hills, distinguishing these central ranges from the Western Ghats (Sahyadri) on the western edge.

Using this rule, a student can place Satpura/Maikal in central India and Western Ghats along the western coast on a map to judge if they meet at Amarkantak.

Defines the Western Ghats (Sahyadris) as a long north–south range running parallel to the western coast from the Tapi mouth southwards, indicating their general geographic corridor.

Combine this corridor with the central location of Satpura to infer whether the Western Ghats extend inland to meet Satpura/Amarkantak.

States that the Western Ghats separate the Deccan Plateau from the western coastal plain and lists the states they traverse, emphasizing their coastal alignment and southern extent.

A student can use the listed states and coastal alignment on a map to see if the Western Ghats reach eastward to Amarkantak's region.

Includes the Vindhya range in a list of mountain ranges to be located on a map, implying its distinct identity and providing a prompt to compare positions of Vindhya, Satpura (and Amarkantak), and Western Ghats.

A student could mark Vindhya, Satpura/Amarkantak and Western Ghats on an outline map (as the exercise suggests) to evaluate whether Amarkantak lies at a Vindhya–Western Ghats junction.

Lists the components of the Satpura system (Rajpipla Hills, Mahadev Hills and the Maikal Range), indicating which named sub-ranges make up Satpura.

Compare the mapped location of these named sub-ranges with the location of BR Hills to see if BR Hills lie east of them.

States that the Maikal Range forms a connecting link between the Vindhyans and the Satpura mountains, implying Maikal is the known eastern connector/limit of Satpura.

Locate Maikal on a map relative to BR Hills; if Maikal is east of most Satpura elements and BR is farther east or separate, that affects the claim.

Describes Maikal, Mahadev and Kaimur as the eastern extensions of the Deccan plateau and notes the Satpura range flanks the Deccan's broad base in the north—identifying commonly recognized eastern extensions associated with Satpura/peninsular uplands.

Use a map to see whether BR Hills fall within or beyond these named eastern extension ranges.

Characterizes the Satpura range as a series of discontinuous, scarped plateaus forming the northern boundary of the Deccan plateau, suggesting Satpura's extent is not a single continuous linear ridge and has named segments.

Because Satpura is discontinuous, check if BR Hills are a local isolated hill-block or part of a named Satpura segment (e.g., Maikal/Mahadev) on regional maps or geological charts.

Places the Maikal Range among northern/boundary features of the Peninsular upland, reinforcing Maikal's role as a key northern/eastern marker in the peninsular context.

Compare peninsular boundary features (Maikal etc.) with BR Hills’ coordinates to judge whether BR is within the Satpura-linked boundary zone or lies elsewhere.

Explicitly lists Seshachalam (Cuddapah and Anantapur districts) among ranges that continue as part of the Eastern Ghats/continuations south-west of Madurai.

A student could locate Cuddapah/Anantapur on a map to see these hills lie on the eastern side of the peninsula, suggesting they belong to the Eastern Ghats rather than the Western Ghats.

States the Western Ghats run through Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu and end at Kanyakumari at the southern tip of India.

Compare the geographic end-point (Kanyakumari, western/southern extremity) with the location of Seshachalam to judge if Seshachalam could be part of that chain.

Repeated description that the Western Ghats run along the western sea coast and end at Kanyakumari, separating Deccan Plateau from Arabian Sea coast.

Using this rule (Western Ghats = western coastal range), a student can check whether Seshachalam’s location (inland/eastern districts) aligns with that pattern.

States Western Ghats lie parallel to the western coast while Eastern Ghats are along the eastern edge of the Deccan Plateau.

Locate Seshachalam relative to the eastern or western edge of the Deccan Plateau to infer which ghats it more likely belongs to.

Notes Eastern Ghats are lower, broken into smaller hills along the eastern coast and lists the Deccan Plateau between the two ranges.

Since Seshachalam is listed (in 9) among eastern continuations, a student could use the 'broken eastern hills' pattern to see Seshachalam fits the Eastern Ghats profile rather than the continuous western chain.
