1. Arrange the following mountain valleys in order from North to South:
- Panjshir Valley
- Araku Valley
- Lidder Valley
- Nubra Valley
Select the correct sequence using the codes given below:
[A] 3, 1, 4, 2

[C] 1, 3, 4, 2
[D] 4, 1, 3, 2
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [4, 1, 3, 2]
Notes:
Nubra Valley, located in the northern Himalayas in Ladakh, is the northernmost. Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan lies south of Nubra, followed by Lidder Valley in Jammu and Kashmir, and finally Araku Valley in Andhra Pradesh, which is the southernmost. Thus, their north-to-south sequence is: Nubra, Panjshir, Lidder, Araku (4, 1, 3, 2).

Correct Answer: D [1, 2, 3 & 4]
Notes:
All four species—Amur Falcon, Bar-headed Geese, Bluethroat, and Great-white Pelican—are winter migratory to India and are categorized as ‘Least Concern’ in the IUCN Red List. Each breeds outside India and winters here. None are listed as threatened or vulnerable under the current IUCN status.
3. Consider the following pairs:

[B] Only 1 and 3
[C] Only 1 and 4
[D] Only 3 and 4

Fazli Mango is grown mainly in West Bengal and Bangladesh, not Kerala. Queen pineapple is famous in Tripura and has a GI tag. Nanjangud Banana is a specialty of Karnataka, not Andhra Pradesh. Shahi Litchi from Bihar is GI-tagged. Therefore, only pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched.
