    Question

    Which statement correctly describes the elevation of

    India's mountain ranges? I. The Western Ghats are higher than the Eastern Ghats. II. The Eastern Ghats are more continuous and have more peaks above 1,000 meters than the Western Ghats.
    A Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Western Ghats are indeed higher and more continuous than the Eastern Ghats, featuring several peaks that exceed 2,000 meters, including Anamudi, the highest peak in peninsular India. Contrarily, the Eastern Ghats are less continuous, with fewer high peaks, and do not form a significant barrier to the monsoon winds as the Western Ghats do.
