Question

The mountain range which stretches from Gujarat in west to Delhi in the north is the______
A) Aravalli
B) Vindhyas
C) Satpuras
D) Kaimur range

Answer 1

Hint:Geologists estimate that the mountain range, which is similar to the Himalayan range, is as old as 350 million years.
This makes it the oldest range of folded mountains in India. The oldest range of folded mountains in India is an eroded stub of ancient mountains.
The Range's geological history dates back to the days when an ocean separated the Indian Plate from the Eurasian Plate.

Complete answer:
Option A) Aravalli range. In Northwestern India, the Aravalli Range is a mountain range that runs about 692 km (430 mi) in a south-westerly direction, beginning near Delhi, passing through southern Haryana and Rajasthan, and ending in Gujarat. At 1,722 m, Guru Shikhar is the highest peak (5,650 ft).
Option B) Vindhyas, is an incorrect answer. The term applies primarily to the escarpment and its hilly extensions running north of and approximately parallel to the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh. The range stretches to Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Chhattisgarh in the east, depending on the description.
Option C) Satpuras, is an incorrect answer. A chain of hills in central India is the Satpura Range. The range rises east across the border of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh until Chhattisgarh in eastern Gujarat state.
Option D) Kaimur range, is incorrect answer. It stretches from around Katangi in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district to around Sasaram in Bihar's Rohtas district. The Rewa and Mirzapur divisions pass through it.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note: Asia's great mountain range is the Himalayas. In Northeastern Pakistan, Northern India, Southern Tibet, Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan, they form a 1,500-mile wide crescent. One of the world's youngest mountain ranges is the Himalayas.
