Question

Consider the following information: The following table: Waterfall Region River

1Dhuandhar Malwa Narmada
2Hundru Chota Nagpur Subarnarekha
3Gersoppa Western Ghats Netravati

In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?

Options

a

Only one

Answer
b

Only two

c

All three

d

None

Explanation

Only row 2 is completely correct; Hundru Falls is on the Subarnarekha in Chota Nagpur. Row 1 is incorrect because Dhuandhar is on the Narmada, but in the Mahakoshal region (Jabalpur), not Malwa. Row 3 is incorrect as Gersoppa (Jog Falls) is in the Western Ghats but on the Sharavati river, not Netravati.

Always verify all three elements of geographic triples; examiners frequently alter the river or specific sub-region.

Answer: (a).
