Answer 1

Answer:

D. Aravalli Hills

• The Purvanchal Hills (Eastern Hills) typically include:

  • Patkai Bum

  • Naga Hills

  • Mizo Hills

• The Aravalli Hills are not part of the Purvanchal range as they are located in northwestern India (primarily in Rajasthan and extending into Gujarat, Haryana and Delhi), while the Purvanchal range is in northeastern India.

1. Purvanchal Hills: These form an eastern extension of the Himalayas, running along India's northeastern states and creating natural boundaries with Myanmar and Bangladesh.

2. Aravalli Hills: One of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, the Aravallis run southwest to northeast across western India, with Mount Abu being its highest peak.

3. The Purvanchal range consists of three hill systems - the Patkai-Bum, the Naga Hills, and the Mizo Hills
