Question

What separates Daman and Diu?
a. Narmada river
b. Gulf of khambat
c. Gir hills
d. Tapti river

Answer 1

Hint:
Daman and Diu are a united territory in the West Indies. With an area of ​​112 square kilometers, it is the smallest federal department in India on the continent. The region consists of two separate regions - Daman and Diu. The state of Gujarat and the Arabian Sea borders the territory.

Complete solution:
Gulf of Khambhat, also known as Gulf of Cambay, is a tubular bay in the Arabian Sea retreating north from the coast of Gujarat, West Indies, between Mumbai (Bombay) and the Kathiawar Peninsula. It is 190 km wide at the junction of Diu and Daman but quickly narrows down to 15 km (24 km). This bay receives many rivers, including Sabarmati, Mahi, Narmada (Narbada), and Tapti. Its shape and orientation to the monsoon winds in the southwest are caused by high tides (12 feet) and high tide entry velocity. The Shoals and sandy beaches are dangerous for shipping, and all ports of the Persian Gulf are affected by tidal flooding. On the eastern side of the bay are Bharuch, one of India's oldest ports, and Surat, identified with early European trade contacts with India.

Therefore, Daman and Diu are geographically separated by the Gulf of Khambhat.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
 The Narmada, the largest river flowing west on the peninsula, originates near the Amarkantak Mountains in Madhya Pradesh. It is the fifth-largest river in the country and the largest in Gujarat. It runs through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat and meets the Gulf of Cambay.
