Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The Nilgiri Hills, located at the junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka, serve as the geographical meeting point where the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats converge. They are a key feature of the southern Peninsular Plateau.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The Cardamom Hills (Yela Mala) are located in the southern tip of India and are considered a southward continuation of the Western Ghats, not the Eastern Ghats. They are situated south of the Palghat Gap and the Anaimalai Hills. The Eastern Ghats are older, highly eroded, and discontinuous mountain ranges that terminate well before reaching the southernmost tip where the Cardamom Hills are located.
