Question

Garampani sanctuary is located in

• A. Junagarh, Gujarat
• B. Diphu, Assam
• C. Kohima, Nagaland
• D. Gangtok, Sikkim

Hint:

When asked about a specific location of a sanctuary, remember its regional associations. Garampani Sanctuary is in Assam, not elsewhere.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Garampani Wildlife Sanctuary is a well-known protected area in the Karbi Anglong district of Assam, close to the town of Diphu, and is notable for its hot springs alongside its wildlife.
Junagarh belongs to Gujarat, Kohima to Nagaland, and Gangtok to Sikkim, three entirely different northeastern and western states with no connection to this sanctuary.
Therefore, the correct answer is Diphu, Assam.

Answer 2

Another way to approach a location-based question like this is to recall a distinguishing feature of the place in question and match it to general knowledge about each option's region.

1. Junagarh, Gujarat: This region is distinguished by the Gir lion sanctuary, a completely different landmark from Garampani.
2. Diphu, Assam: This region is distinguished by Garampani's combination of hot springs and wildlife, a specific feature that matches the sanctuary named in the question.
3. Kohima, Nagaland: This region is known for its war cemetery and hill-station character, unrelated to Garampani.
4. Gangtok, Sikkim: This region is known for Himalayan scenery and monasteries, again unrelated to Garampani.

Matching the sanctuary's distinguishing hot-spring feature to its region confirms Assam.

Therefore, the correct answer is Diphu, Assam.
