Question

Accepted Answer

(a) A and B are correct — Lower Himalayan region of the Uttarakhand is more populated as there are more job opportunities and better standard of living. Hence first statement is correct. The outer most range of the Himalayas is called the Shiwalik. These ranges are composed of unconsolidated sediments brought down by rivers from the main Himalayan ranges located farther north. Therefore second statement is also correct. Bhabar region (foot-hill zone) mostly contains alluvial soil which varies from place to place. This variation is caused due to rivers flowing through Plaines. Hence, third statement is not correct.
