It is correct to associate Ooty and Doddabetta with which hill region?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nilgiri Hills
The correct answer is the Nilgiri Hills. Ooty, also called Udhagamandalam, is a famous hill station situated in the Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu, and Doddabetta is the highest peak of the Nilgiri Hills, rising to about 2,637 metres. The Nilgiris form an important highland junction in the southern Western Ghats region and are known for their cool climate, grasslands and shola vegetation. The Mishmi Hills are in Arunachal Pradesh, the Mizo Hills are in Mizoram, and the Rajmahal Hills are in Jharkhand. Since none of those regions contains both Ooty and Doddabetta, option A is the only geographically correct association.
