Q1In which part of Himalayas is the ‘karewa’ land form found?
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.
Q2Arrange 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:
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.
Q3Which one of the following Indian state does not share its state boundary with Bangladesh?
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.
Q4Which process best explains the seasonal reversal of monsoon winds over India?
India's monsoon is linked to seasonal pressure contrasts caused by land and sea heating at different rates. In summer, intense heating over the subcontinent helps draw moist winds from the ocean toward land.

Kochi Port is located in Kerala on the Arabian Sea-Laccadive Sea route, which is on India’s western coast. Haldia, Paradwip and Tuticorin are not western-coast ports in the same sense in this option set. Therefore option D is correct.
