Q1The Western Ghats are known as 'Sahyadri' in which state?

A Karnataka

B Maharashtra

C Tamil Nadu

D Kerala

Explanation

The Western Ghats are widely called the Sahyadri range in Maharashtra, where the name is used in geography, local usage and state-level references. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala also lie along the Western Ghats, but the printed question asks the state in which the range is known as Sahyadri in the conventional exam sense. Therefore Maharashtra fits the named usage. Karnataka has the Ghats as Malenadu and adjoining highlands, while Tamil Nadu and Kerala use their own regional hill names for many sections.
