Which one of the following peaks is NOT located in India?

1. A

   Gurla Mandhata

   Gurla Mandhata (Naimona'nyi) stands in Tibet north of Lake Manasarovar, not in India. Among the given peaks the paper keys this as the one NOT located in India, so (a) is the official key.

2. B

   Namcha Barwa

   Namcha Barwa is in the eastern Himalaya of Tibet (Yarlung Tsangpo bend). It is also outside the Republic of India’s administered territory, but it is not the stored key.

3. C

   Kamet

   Kamet is in Uttarakhand (Garhwal Himalaya) and is in India, so it cannot be the ‘NOT in India’ answer.

4. D

   Nanga Parbat

   Nanga Parbat is in Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan-administered); the stored key still selects Gurla Mandhata as (a).

Summary. Official key is (a) Gurla Mandhata, a Tibetan peak by Manasarovar, not in India. Kamet is Indian. Honour stored (a) even though Namcha Barwa and Nanga Parbat are also outside India’s plains-and-states map.
