Evaluate Statement 1
The Arunachal Himalayas extend from the east of the Bhutan Himalayas up to the Diphu pass in the east. This is factually accurate according to geological studies.
Evaluate Statement 2 and 3
The general mountain range direction is indeed southwest to northeast. However, K2 (Karakoram) and Annapurna (Nepal Himalayas) are not in the Arunachal region.
Evaluate Statement 4
The region is rugged, and the mountains are dissected by fast-flowing rivers like the Brahmaputra, Siang, and Lohit, which form deep gorges.
B: Incorrect because statement 3 is false. C: Incorrect because statement 1 and 4 are also correct. D: Incorrect because statement 3 is false.
A is correct because statements 1, 2, and 4 correctly describe the geography, orientation, and physical features of the Arunachal Himalayas, while statement 3 wrongly identifies peaks not located in this region.
In geography MCQs, always verify if the mentioned peaks fall within the specific mountain range sub-division to quickly eliminate false options.
