Question

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I	List-II
A. Himalayas B. North-Eastern Hills C. Western Ghats D. Eastern Ghats	I. High to very high II. High III. Low IV. Moderate to high

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Hint:

Highest landslide risk is usually in the Himalayas. Western Ghats are also prone, while Eastern Ghats are comparatively less prone.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Landslide incidence depends on slope, rainfall, rock type, seismicity, and human disturbance. Mountain regions with steep slopes and heavy rainfall are more prone to landslides.

Step 1: Match Himalayas.
The Himalayas are young fold mountains with steep slopes and high seismic activity. Hence, landslide incidence is high to very high. \[ A \rightarrow I \]

Step 2: Match North-Eastern Hills.
North-Eastern Hills receive heavy rainfall and have steep slopes, so their landslide incidence is high. \[ B \rightarrow II \]

Step 3: Match Western Ghats.
Western Ghats receive heavy monsoon rainfall and have steep slopes, so their landslide incidence is moderate to high. \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match Eastern Ghats.
Eastern Ghats are comparatively less prone than the Himalayas and Western Ghats, so incidence is low. \[ D \rightarrow III \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-I,\ B-II,\ C-IV,\ D-III \]
