Which discontinuous range is identified through Mahendragiri, Shevaroy, and Javadi Hills?

Correct answer: Eastern Ghats

The correct answer is the Eastern Ghats. Mahendragiri in Odisha and the Shevaroy and Javadi Hills in Tamil Nadu are separated hill blocks belonging to the discontinuous Eastern Ghats system. Unlike a continuous wall, the Eastern Ghats are interrupted by major rivers such as the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, which have cut across the old hills. The Western Ghats form a more continuous escarpment along the western edge of the Deccan, while the Aravalli and Karakoram are different mountain systems in other parts of India. The named examples therefore identify the Eastern Ghats.
