Explanation
- A
Only 2
Only 2. Atal Tunnel (Rohtang) is in the Pir Panjal. It is the longest highway tunnel above 10,000 feet, not the world’s longest highway tunnel of any altitude.
- B
Neither 1 nor 2
Neither. The Pir Panjal location holds.
- C
Both 1 and 2
Both. Statement 1 drops the altitude qualifier and is therefore false.
- D
Only 1
Only 1. That ‘world’s longest’ line is the false limb.
Summary. Official key is (a) only 2. Pir Panjal / Rohtang is correct. It is not the world’s longest highway tunnel without the height qualifier.
