BOnly two
CAll three
DNone
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Only one
Answer: A. Only one row (row 2) is correctly matched.
Row 1 — Dhuandhar Falls is on the NARMADA river at Bhedaghat near Jabalpur. The river is correct, but the region is the NARMADA VALLEY / SATPURA region, not the MALWA plateau (Malwa is the basalt-covered plateau of western MP). So row 1 is INCORRECT.
Row 2 — Hundru Falls is on the SUBARNAREKHA river in the CHOTA NAGPUR plateau near Ranchi. All three columns match. CORRECT.
Row 3 — Gersoppa (Jog) Falls is on the SHARAVATI river in the Western Ghats, NOT the Netravati. River is wrong. INCORRECT.
Only row 2 is fully correct.
