Question

Nanga Parbat peak is located in …………………….
a. Gilgit- Baltistan
b. Haryana
c. Punjab
d. Nagaland

Answer 1

Hint:
Mountains have only one summit but can have several peaks of their own. However, the peak in common sense was the highest point on the mountain. If we continue with this term, we can basically say that any highest point that can form around a mountain at any point is a peak.

Complete solution:
Nanga Parbat is Known locally as Diamer. Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest mountain in the world at 8,126 meters above sea level. The name Nanga Parbat derives from the Sanskrit words Nanga and Parvata, which refers to "Naked Mountain". This mountain is known locally as the Tibetan name Diamer or Deo Mir, which means "big mountain". Nanga Parbat is one of 14 eight-thousanders. Nanga Parbat, a large and dramatic peak soaring high above the surrounding area, is known as a tough climb.
Location: Nanga Parbat is the western anchor of the Himalayan ridge and is the westernmost eight-thousander. It lies south of the Indus in the Diamer District of Gilgit-Baltistan in the Pakistani region of Kashmir, which in some places flows more than seven kilometres below the summit of the massif. Not far north is the western end of the Karakoram range.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
The International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation has identified eight-thousanders as 14 mountains above 8,000 meters above sea level and is considered sufficiently independent of the surrounding peaks. All eight-thousanders are in the Himalayas and Karakoram mountains in Asia and their peaks are in the death zone.
