Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists: List I (Peak) A. Dodabetta B. Guru Shikhar C. KaJsubai D. Dhupgarh List II (State) 1. Maharashtra 2. Madhya Pradesh 3. Tamil Nadu 4. Rajasthan Code: A B C D
Explanation
The correct matching of peaks to their respective states is as follows: Dodabetta is the highest point in the Nilgiri Hills, located in Tamil Nadu. Guru Shikhar, with an elevation of 1,722 meters, is the highest peak of the Aravalli Range situated in Rajasthan [4]. Kalsubai is the highest peak in the state of Maharashtra, located within the Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats [3]. Dhupgarh, reaching 1,350 meters near Pachmarhi, is the highest peak of the Satpura Range in Madhya Pradesh [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence for A-B-C-D is 3 (Tamil Nadu), 4 (Rajasthan), 1 (Maharashtra), and 2 (Madhya Pradesh). This corresponds to the code 3 4 1 2, which is represented in Option 3.
