A Correct answer
Explanation

Jammu hills receive adequate rainfall (>100 cm annually) due to their location and elevation. Mikir hills in Assam also receive high rainfall typical of the Northeast region. However, Zaskar range (in Ladakh) is a high-altitude cold desert receiving very low precipitation (<10 cm annually), well below 100 cm. Therefore only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
