Answer 1

Answer:

B. 1, 2 and 4 only

• Correct Answer: Option B) 1, 2 and 4 only

• Kerala shares its eastern border with Tamil Nadu. Among the districts listed in the question, three districts directly border Tamil Nadu:

• Palakkad - This district has a major pass called the Palakkad Gap, which is a significant geographical feature connecting Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

• Kollam - Located in southern Kerala, Kollam shares a border with Tamil Nadu through the Western Ghats.

• Ernakulam - This district does not share a border with Tamil Nadu. It is located in central Kerala and borders the Arabian Sea on the west.

• Kasaragod - This district is located in the northernmost part of Kerala and shares borders with Karnataka, not Tamil Nadu.

• Therefore, the districts that share borders with Tamil Nadu are Palakkad and Kollam only from the given options.

• Other Kerala districts that border Tamil Nadu but are not listed in the question include Idukki, Pathanamthitta, and Thiruvananthapuram.
