Question

Which among the following districts of Kerala is completely surrounded only by other Kerala districts and has no international or sea border?

• A. Wayanad
• B. Palakkad
• C. Kottayam
• D. Alappuzha

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Kottayam

• Correct Answer: Option C - Kottayam

• Kottayam is the only district in Kerala that is completely landlocked by other Kerala districts without any international borders or coastline. Let's examine why:

• Kottayam is surrounded by:

• Idukki district to the east

• Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha districts to the south

• Alappuzha and Ernakulam districts to the west

• Ernakulam and Idukki districts to the north

• The other options are incorrect because:

• Wayanad (Option A): Shares an international border with Karnataka to the north and Tamil Nadu to the east.

• Palakkad (Option B): Shares a border with Tamil Nadu to the east through the Palakkad Gap, which is known as the "Gateway of Kerala."

• Alappuzha (Option D): Has a coastline along the Arabian Sea to the west.
