Correct Answer: Nanda DeviYour Answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option B — Nanda Devi. Nanda Devi is correct because it is located in Uttarakhand. It is also associated with its main western summit is about 7,817 metres high, which provides a second reliable identifying clue. These features are standard physical-geography facts and are useful for map-based and statement-based competitive-exam questions. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Saltoro Kangri: It is located in the Siachen-Saltoro region of the southeastern Karakoram; this is the specific geographical association of Saltoro Kangri. Option C — Kangto: It is located in Arunachal Pradesh near the frontier with Tibet; this is the specific geographical association of Kangto. Option D — Reo Purgyil: It is located in Himachal Pradesh near the India-Tibet frontier; this is the specific geographical association of Reo Purgyil. Exam Takeaway: Connect Nanda Devi with “located in Uttarakhand” for quick revision.
