The major peaks like Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Mansalu, Chooyu, Nanga Parbat and Annapurna all are situated in:

  • A.The Western Ghat
  • B.Siwalik Range
  • C.The Greater Himalayas (Himadri)
  • D.The Eastern Ghats

Answer: C

They are in the Greater Himalayas, the Himadri.

This is the northernmost and highest of the three parallel ranges, averaging about 6,000 m, and holds almost all the peaks above 8,000 m. Its core is granite and it is permanently snow-covered, which is why the great glaciers - Gangotri, Siachen - rise there.
