Read Explanation:

  • Correct Answer: Option A) 1 & 2

  • Anamudi is one of the most significant geographical features of Kerala.

  • It is the highest peak in the Western Ghats and Kerala - This statement is correct. Anamudi, at an elevation of 2,695 meters (8,842 feet) above sea level, is indeed the highest peak in the Western Ghats mountain range and subsequently the highest peak in Kerala.

  • It is located in the Munnar Panchayat of Devikulam taluk - This statement is also correct. Anamudi is situated in the Munnar Panchayat area within Devikulam taluk in Idukki district of Kerala. It is part of the Eravikulam National Park.

  • It was first measured by General Douglas Hamilton in 1962 - This statement is incorrect. While General Douglas Hamilton did survey and measure Anamudi, it wasn't in 1962. The measurement was actually conducted in the 19th century (around 1850s), not in 1962. Hamilton was a British officer who conducted several geographical surveys in South India during the colonial period.
