Palani Hills are associated with which famous hill town?

Correct answer: Kodaikanal

The correct answer is A, Kodaikanal. Kodaikanal is a well-known hill station situated in the Palani Hills of Tamil Nadu, within the southern Western Ghats region. Its elevated setting, cool climate, forests and lake have made it an important tourist centre. The association should not be confused with Srinagar, which lies in the Kashmir Valley and belongs to a Himalayan setting. Jaipur is a city of Rajasthan’s plains and hill-margin landscape, while Patna lies in the Gangetic plain. The question tests a straightforward physical-feature and settlement connection: Palani Hills provide the mountainous setting, and Kodaikanal is the famous hill town located there. Thus option A is correct. The association also helps learners place the Palani Hills in southern India rather than in the Himalayas or northern plains.
