Consider the following information: Waterfall — Region — River. 1. Dhuandhar — Malwa — Narmada 2. Hundru — Chota Nagpur — Subarnarekha 3. Gersoppa — Western Ghats — Netravati. In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?
  1. Only one
  2. Only two
  3. All three
  4. None

Solution

Only the Hundru-Chota Nagpur-Subarnarekha pair is correctly matched. Dhuandhar is on the Narmada but in the Vindhyan/Bhedaghat (Jabalpur) area, not the Malwa plateau. Gersoppa (Jog) falls are on the Sharavati river (not Netravati) in the Western Ghats.
