Consider the following information: Waterfall — Region — River 1. Dhuandhar — Malwa — Narmada 2. Hundru — Chota Nagpur — Subarnarekha 3. Gersoppa — Western Ghats — Netravati In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?

  1. Only one
  2. Only two
  3. All three
  4. None

Answer

Correct Answer

Only one

Explanation

Hundru Falls is located in the Chota Nagpur Plateau and is formed by the Subarnarekha River, making row 2 correct. Dhuandhar Falls is on the Narmada near Jabalpur, not in the Malwa region. Gersoppa (Jog) Falls is formed by the Sharavathi River, not the Netravati. Hence, only one row is correctly matched.
