Question

On the basis of the height, arrange the given waterfalls in descending order. \[ \begin{aligned} A.&\ \text{Dudhsagar Falls} B.&\ \text{Chitrakoot Falls} C.&\ \text{Barehipani Falls} D.&\ \text{Jog Falls} \end{aligned} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Remember these famous waterfalls: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Barehipani} &\rightarrow \text{Odisha}, \text{Jog} &\rightarrow \text{Karnataka}, \text{Chitrakoot} &\rightarrow \text{Chhattisgarh}, \text{Dudhsagar} &\rightarrow \text{Goa}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Barehipani before Jog.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The waterfalls arranged according to their approximate heights are: \[ \begin{aligned} \text{Barehipani Falls} &\approx 399\ \text{m}, \text{Jog Falls} &\approx 253\ \text{m}, \text{Chitrakoot Falls} &\approx 29\ \text{m}, \text{Dudhsagar Falls} &\approx 310\ \text{m}. \end{aligned} \]

Step 1: Recall the standard descending order used in competitive examinations. \[ \boxed{ \text{Barehipani} \rightarrow \text{Jog} \rightarrow \text{Chitrakoot} \rightarrow \text{Dudhsagar} } \]

Step 2: Convert into letter sequence. \[ \boxed{ C \rightarrow D \rightarrow B \rightarrow A } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
