A 3 2 1 4
B 1 4 3 2
C 4 2 3 1
D 4 3 2 1

Correct answer: (d) 4 3 2 1

Explanation

  1. A

    3 2 1 4

    Code 3 2 1 4 would give Tamil Nadu Guru Shikhar, Rajasthan Saramati, Nagaland Dhupgarh and Madhya Pradesh Doddabetta. Guru Shikhar is in the Aravallis of Rajasthan, not Tamil Nadu, so this code collapses.

  2. B

    1 4 3 2

    Code 1 4 3 2 would give Tamil Nadu Dhupgarh and Rajasthan Doddabetta. Dhupgarh is the Satpura high point in Madhya Pradesh; Doddabetta is in the Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu. Both assignments are reversed.

  3. C

    4 2 3 1

    Code 4 2 3 1 correctly starts with Doddabetta for Tamil Nadu but then gives Rajasthan Saramati (a Naga peak) and Nagaland Guru Shikhar. The middle pair is wrong.

  4. D

    4 3 2 1

    Code 4 3 2 1 is Tamil Nadu–Doddabetta, Rajasthan–Guru Shikhar, Nagaland–Saramati, Madhya Pradesh–Dhupgarh. Each peak is the conventional highest point of that State in this list, so (d) is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) 4 3 2 1. Doddabetta stands in the Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu; Guru Shikhar is the Aravalli high point near Mount Abu; Saramati rises on the Nagaland–Myanmar border; Dhupgarh is the Satpura summit above Pachmarhi. Mixing eastern Himalayan-border peaks with Peninsular hills is the usual error. Honour the stored letter (d).
