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

Correct answer: (c) 3 4 2 1

Explanation

  1. A

    2 3 1 4

    Option (a) pairs Bateshwar Hill with Manipur, Bilari Range with Bihar, Chin Range with Haryana, and Dhoshi Hill with Karnataka. This sequence fails to correctly map any of the geographical features to their actual states, such as placing Bateshwar Hill incorrectly outside Bihar.

  2. B

    3 2 4 1

    Option (b) pairs Bateshwar Hill with Bihar, Bilari Range with Manipur, Chin Range with Karnataka, and Dhoshi Hill with Haryana. While it correctly identifies Bateshwar Hill in Bihar, it misplaces the remaining three hills and ranges in incorrect states.

  3. C

    3 4 2 1

    Option (c) pairs Bateshwar Hill with Bihar (3), Bilari Range with Karnataka (4), Chin Range with Manipur (2), and Dhoshi Hill with Haryana (1), yielding the code 3 4 2 1. Bateshwar Hill is located in Bhagalpur, Bihar, Bilari Range in Karnataka, Chin Range near the Manipur border region, and Dhoshi Hill is an extinct volcano situated in the Mahendragarh district of Haryana. This combination accurately aligns every listed hill or mountain range with its precise Indian state location based on exhaustive geographical surveys and official regional mapping.

  4. D

    4 3 1 2

    Option (d) pairs Bateshwar Hill with Karnataka, Bilari Range with Bihar, Chin Range with Haryana, and Dhoshi Hill with Manipur. This scrambled sequence completely disrupts the correct correspondences between the hill ranges and their respective states.

Summary. Official key is (c) 3 4 2 1. This question tests the geographical distribution of various lesser-known hills and mountain ranges across different Indian states. Bateshwar Hill is located in Bihar, Bilari Range is in Karnataka, Chin Range extends towards Manipur, and Dhoshi Hill lies in Haryana. By matching each item in List-I with its correct location in List-II, option (c) emerges as the only accurate sequence. Aspirants often confuse regional hill names located across contiguous state borders, making careful verification essential.
