Question

Ooty is also known as:
(A) Baghelkhand
(B) Bundelkhand
(C) Central Highlands
(D) Udagamandalam

Answer 1

Hint: We know that Ooty is a municipality and town in Tamil Nadu, India, located in the Nilgiris district. It is the headquarters of the Nilgiris district and is situated $$86$$ kilometres north of Coimbatore and $$128$$ kilometres south of Mysore. It is a well-known hill station in the Nilgiri Hills. Remember that a hint is ‘Queen of Hills’ is how the locals of the town refer to it. The word used for the name of this place also means ‘water’.

Complete answer:
This place (often referred to as Ootacamund ) is a town and municipality in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is generally called in its official name which is abbreviated to be Udhagai and Ooty. It is$$80$$ kilometres north of Coimbatore and the administrative centre of the Nilgiris district, where the two ghats converge. The required reference name means ‘water abode’ since Ooty is generally ready to rain there so it is the abode of water bodies.

Let us look into the given options:
Consider option (A) Baghelkhand; it is incorrect since it is near Madhya Pradesh and does not belong to Tamil Nadu.
Then option (B) Bundelkhand is incorrect; since Ooty belongs to southern regions and this place belongs to the northern region, this is definitely not the place referred to as Ooty.
Also option (C) Central Highlands is incorrect; since it is near Gujarat so it is far from Tamil Nadu, so can be rejected.
Then option (D) Udagamandalam is the correct answer; since Udhagamandalam (meaning abode of water) also known as Ooty, is by far the most prominent hill station in the South and is recognized as the "Queen of Hill Stations." At a height of $$2240$$ meters, it is located on the West coast Ghats.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’ i.e, Udagamandalam.

Note: Tourism and farming, as well as the production of medicines and photographic film, are the mainstays of the market. The Nilgiri ghat roads and the Nilgiri Mountain Railway link the town. It is a popular summer spot because of its natural surroundings.
