Explanation

The Himalayas are the highest mountain system in the world. Cho Oyu (8,188 m) and Lhotse (8,516 m) are both part of the Mahalangur Himalaya sub-range of the Greater Himalayas, located on the border between Nepal and Tibet (China). Lhotse is the fourth-highest mountain in the world, while Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest.

On the other hand, Annamalai and Sirumali are located in Peninsular India. The Annamalai Hills (or Elephant Mountains) are a range of mountains in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The Sirumali Hills are part of the Eastern Ghats, located in the Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu. Therefore, only 1 and 2 are located in the Himalayan mountains.
