Correct answer: (d) 3 only
Explanation
- A
1 and 2
This option claims that statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 1 is correct, but statement 2 is incorrect because the Jhulaghat suspension bridge connects India with Nepal, not Myanmar. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
- B
2 and 3
This option claims that statements 2 and 3 are correct. Statement 3 is correct, but statement 2 is incorrect as Jhulaghat links Uttarakhand with Nepal. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
- C
1 only
This option claims that only statement 1 is correct. While statement 1 is correct, statement 3 is also correct. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
- D
3 only
(d) 3 only. Statement 1 is correct ('Maitri Setu' is built over the Feni river, connecting Ramgarh in India to Sabroom in Bangladesh). Statement 2 is incorrect because the Jhulaghat suspension bridge spans the Mahakali river connecting India with Nepal, not Myanmar. Statement 3 is correct (Mechi bridge connects Panitanki in India with Kakarvitta in Nepal). Thus, only statement 3 is correct. Summary. Official key is (d) because 'Maitri Setu' connects India and Bangladesh and Mechi bridge connects India and Nepal, while Jhulaghat connects India and Nepal rather than Myanmar, making only the third statement correct.
Summary. Official key is (d) because 'Maitri Setu' connects India and Bangladesh and Mechi bridge connects India and Nepal, while Jhulaghat connects India and Nepal rather than Myanmar, making only the third statement correct.
