Q. With reference to Cumulus clouds, consider the following statements:

1. They are formed at high altitudes of 8,000 – 12,000 m.
2. They have a feathery appearance.
3. They look like cotton wool.

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 3
Notes: Cumulus clouds are generally formed at 4,000–7,000 m, not 8,000–12,000 m. They appear like cotton wool with a flat base. The feathery appearance and higher altitude pertain to Cirrus clouds, not Cumulus. Therefore, only Statement 3 is correct among the given options.
