Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) Neither 1 nor 2
Both statements are wrong. The Western Ghats form a nearly continuous, higher escarpment, broken only by the Palghat Gap, while the Eastern Ghats are broken and dissected by rivers like the Godavari, Mahanadi and Krishna. Anamudi (2695 m) in Kerala is the highest peak of the Western Ghats, and the highest in India south of the Himalaya.
