Which is the correct north-to-south order of the three parallel Himalayan ranges?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himadri, Himachal, Shiwalik

Correct answer: C, Himadri, Himachal and Shiwalik. The Himalayan ranges run roughly parallel to one another. The Great or Inner Himalaya, called Himadri, is the northernmost and contains the highest mountains. South of it lies Himachal, also called the Lesser or Middle Himalaya. Furthest south lies Shiwalik, also called the Outer Himalaya, made up of the youngest and relatively lower foothill ranges. Thus, moving from north toward the plains in the south, the order is Himadri → Himachal → Shiwalik. Option A reverses the order and starts with the southernmost range. Option B places Himachal north of Himadri, which is incorrect. Option C gives the correct north-to-south sequence. Option D incorrectly places Shiwalik between the other two. Memory cue: “Great, Lesser, Outer” from north to south.
