Bermuda triangle extends up to which of the following places? I. Southern Florida II. Puerto Rico III. Hawaii Islands Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Bermuda Triangle is a loosely defined region of the western North Atlantic that is commonly depicted as a triangle connecting the southern tip of Florida (Miami), the island of Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Official sources and summaries note there are no formal boundaries, but most maps and authoritative descriptions use Florida (southern Florida/Miami), Bermuda, and Puerto Rico as the three vertices of the area [1]. Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean and is not part of this North Atlantic region. Therefore statements I (Southern Florida) and II (Puerto Rico) are correct while III (Hawaii Islands) is incorrect; the correct choice is 2 (I and II only).
