Question

Which of the following is the highest peak in the peninsular plateau of India?

• A. Doddabetta
• B. Mahendragiri
• C. Anamudi
• D. Guru Shikhar

Hint:

Remember the sequence: Anamudi (2,695 m) → Highest Peak of Peninsular India Doddabetta (2,637 m) → Highest Peak of Nilgiri Hills Guru Shikhar → Highest Peak of Aravalli Range

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the question.
We need the highest peak in the Peninsular Plateau of India.

Step 2: Identify the peak.
Anamudi, at about 2,695 metres, is the highest peak. It is in Idukki district, Kerala, within the Western Ghats.

Step 3: Why it wins.
No other Peninsular peak is taller, so Anamudi is the highest point of South India.

Step 4: Rule out others.
Doddabetta (about 2,637 m) is the Nilgiri high point but lower. Mahendragiri and Guru Shikhar are shorter still.

Step 5: Conclude.
The highest Peninsular peak is Anamudi.

Answer: Anamudi
