Mountains, Hills, and Trekking Geography

Mt. Everest (29,032 ft) is the highest peak in the world. New Delhi is at approximately 28.6°N latitude. Everest is at 27.9°N, so it is south of New Delhi and qualifies as 'below the latitude of New Delhi'. K2 and Kanchenjungha are north of Delhi's latitude.

Nepal's cabinet held a meeting at Everest Base Camp on December 4, 2009 to highlight climate change impacts on Himalayan glaciers. Mt. Everest is the world's highest peak and Nepal's most iconic mountain. K2 is in Pakistan, Kangchenjunga is on the India-Nepal border, and Nanda Devi is in India.

The Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats meet at the Nilgiri Hills (Nilagiris) in South India. This convergence point is in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Sabhari malai and Tirupathi are in the Eastern Ghats, while Himalayas is a completely different mountain range in North India.

Godwin Austen (also known as K2) is the world's second highest mountain at 8,611 meters, located in the Karakoram range on the China-Pakistan border. Mount Everest is the highest, while Makalu (4th) and Lhotse (3rd) are also in the top five but are not the second highest.

Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is Africa's highest peak at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). Mount Kenya is the second-highest, while Mount Stanley is located in the Rwenzori range on the Uganda-DRC border.

Annapurna is located in Nepal, not in India. The other peaks - Nanda Devi, Mt. Kamet, and Kanchenjunga - are all in India. Annapurna I (8,091m) is the 10th highest mountain globally.

This is a trick question - Mount Everest was always the highest mountain even before it was discovered. Discovery doesn't change physical reality. Kufri is a hill station, Ojos del Salado is in Chile, Huascaran is in Peru.

Kangchenjunga (8,586m) is the highest mountain peak in India, located on the border of Sikkim and Nepal. It is the third highest peak in the world. While K2 (8,611m) is higher, it is located in the Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan region, which India claims as part of Jammu & Kashmir but does not currently administer. The Himalayas are a mountain range, Mount Abu is a hill station, and Kedarnath is a sacred peak but not the highest.

Tibet is known as the 'Roof of the World' due to its average elevation of over 4,500 meters (14,800 ft) above sea level. The Tibetan Plateau is the highest and largest plateau on Earth. While the Himalayas contain the highest peaks, Tibet specifically earned this nickname.

Dehradun lies in the Doon Valley, situated between the Siwalik Range (outer Himalayas) to the south and the Himadri/Greater Himalayas to the north. This valley position gives the city its unique geography and climate.

The Pamir Knot, located in Central Asia at the convergence of several major mountain ranges including the Himalayas, is traditionally known as the "Roof of the World" due to its high altitude and central position in Asia's mountain network. This term refers to the Pamir Mountains region spanning Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and parts of China.

The Aravalli Range is the oldest mountain range in India, dating back approximately 350-500 million years to the Precambrian era. It runs through Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat. The Himalayas are relatively young (50 million years), the Shiwaliks are the youngest foothills of the Himalayas, and the Vindhyas are also ancient but younger than the Aravallis.

The Indian railway system is often cited as one of the world's largest employers, with over 1.3 million employees. In the context of this question set (likely Indian competitive exams), option B is the intended correct answer.
