Rivers of India MCQ Questions with Answers

Protection of wildlife is covered under: - Fundamental Duties: Article 51A(g) obliges citizens to protect wildlife and conserve the environment. - Directive Principles: Article 48A directs the State to protect the environment and safeguard wildlife. - Seventh Schedule: Matters related to forests and wildlife are dealt with in the Concurrent List, thus enabling both Centre and States to legislate for wildlife protection. Hence, the correct combination includes (i), (ii), and (iii). Fundamental Rights are not the primary vehicle for protecting wildlife.

Idea: arrange items by their geographic location from north to south. (i) Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej are major rivers in the north-western region; their relative longitudinal order is not the simple north-to-south sequence given, so this formation is not correct. (ii) Lipulekh, Jelep La, Shipki La are mountain passes located along the northern to north-western frontier; their north-to-south order is Lipulekh → Shipki La → Jelep La in common geographic orientation, making the given sequence acceptable in a north-to-south context. (iii) Mahendragiri, Mahabaleshwar, Doddabetta, Anamudi are peaks in different parts of south India; when arranged roughly from north to south, the sequence aligns with the locations of these peaks in the southern peninsula, making this sequence correct as well. Therefore, only (ii) and (iii) are correct.
