Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Statement (B) reverses the directions: the Pamir Knot lies at the western end and Arunachal Pradesh at the eastern end, so (B) is incorrect. Statements (A), (C) and (D) are acceptable, since the range does form an arc across northern India, is broadly split into the Karakoram (Trans-Himalayan) and Himalayan systems, and the Karakoram system is associated with the Zaskar, Ladakh and Kunlun ranges. Hence (A), (C) and (D).
