Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2004 • Geography

Correct Answer: Option (C) — 1, 3, 2

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

From North to South:

  1. Mahadeo Hills (part of central MP hills, northward sector of Satpura system)
  2. Satpura Range (stretches across southern MP and Maharashtra border)
  3. Sahyadri Parvat (Western Ghats running down western peninsular India southward through Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Kerala). Thus, north to south sequence is 1 -> 3 -> 2.
Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

Sahyadri (Western Ghats) extends all the way down to the southern peninsula, so it must be the southernmost in this sequence (ending with 2).
