Q1. The Palk Strait is located between:
A India and Maldives
B India and Indonesia
C India and Myanmar
D India and Sri Lanka Correct
Explanation
The Palk Strait separates the south-eastern coast of India, near Tamil Nadu, from northern Sri Lanka. India and Maldives are separated by the Lakshadweep Sea area, not by the Palk Strait. India and Indonesia are connected through the wider eastern Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea region, not this strait. India and Myanmar share a land boundary and maritime approaches near the Bay of Bengal. Therefore, the strait named in the question lies between India and Sri Lanka.
