Arrange the following submarine canyons on east coast of India from North to South. \[ \begin{aligned} A.&\ \text{Godavari Canyon} B.&\ \text{Ganga Canyon} C.&\ \text{Pulicat Canyon} D.&\ \text{Pondicherry Canyon} \end{aligned} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B, C, D
• B. B, A, D, C
• C. D, B, A, C
• D. B, A, C, D

Hint:

Remember the east coast canyon sequence: \[ \boxed{ \text{Ganga} < \text{Godavari} < \text{Pondicherry} < \text{Pulicat} } \] Mnemonic: “Ganga Goes Past Pulicat.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The submarine canyons occur along the east coast in the following north-to-south order. \[ \boxed{ \text{Ganga} \rightarrow \text{Godavari} \rightarrow \text{Pondicherry} \rightarrow \text{Pulicat} } \]

Step 1: Convert into letter sequence. \[ \boxed{ B \rightarrow A \rightarrow D \rightarrow C } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
