• B. i wrong, ii correct
• C. i only correct
• D. ii only correct

Answer 1

Answer:

C. i only correct

• The first statement is correct. The Rajmahal Hills are indeed located in the eastern part of the Peninsular Plateau, specifically in Jharkhand state. They form the northeastern edge of the Chota Nagpur Plateau.

• However, the second statement is incorrect. The Delhi Ridge is actually located in the northwestern extension of the Aravalli Range, not in the southwest of the Peninsular Plateau.

• The Peninsular Plateau is one of India's major physiographic divisions, covering most of the Indian peninsula.

• It's bounded by:

• The Satpura and Vindhya ranges in the north

• The Eastern Ghats along the east coast

• The Western Ghats along the west coast

• The Nilgiri Hills in the south where the Eastern and Western Ghats meet
