Practice Questions

Q1. Arrange the following rivers of India as placed from North to South on Indian map. a. Godavari b. Kaveri c. Chambal d. Narmada Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A c, a, b, d
B c, d, a, b Correct
C c, a, d, b
D c, b, a, d

Explanation

On the Indian map, Chambal is the northernmost among these rivers because it flows through Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh as a Yamuna tributary. Narmada lies south of the Chambal belt in central India, Godavari is further south in the Deccan, and Kaveri flows in the southern peninsula. Hence the north-to-south order is c, d, a, b, so option B is correct.

Q2. In which part of Himalayas is the ‘karewa’ land form found?

A Eastern Himalayas
B Kashmir Himalayas Correct
C North-Eastern Himalayas
D Himachal – UttaraKhand Himalayas

Explanation

Karewa landforms are elevated tablelands made of sedimentary deposits found in the Kashmir Valley floor of the Kashmir Basin. This places them in the Kashmir Himalayas, not in the eastern or Himachal-Uttarakhand sections. Therefore option B is correct.

Q3. Which one of the following Indian state does not share its state boundary with Bangladesh?

A Assam
B Manipur Correct
C Tripura
D Meghalaya

Explanation

The India-Bangladesh border runs along West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. Among the given options, Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya share this border, while Manipur does not. Therefore option B is correct.

A Malabar Coast
B Konkan
C Coromandel Correct
D Kannad Coast

Explanation

The western coastal plain includes stretches such as the Konkan, Kanara or Kannada coast, and Malabar coast. Coromandel is associated with India’s eastern coast, not the western coastal plain. Therefore option C is correct.

Chandrabhaga Beach is located at Konark, in Odisha, near the Sun Temple area. Since the beach is in Odisha, option A is correct. The other listed states do not match this location.
