The question asks to match mountain ranges in India with their approximate locations on a map (represented by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4). Assuming the map locations are standard representations of these features in India.
– **Aravalli (C):** Located in northwestern India, extending from Rajasthan to Haryana/Delhi. Location 1 typically represents the Aravalli range.
– **Vindhya (B):** Located in central India, running roughly east-west, north of the Narmada River. Location 2 typically represents the Vindhya range.
– **Satpura (A):** Located in central India, running roughly east-west, south of the Narmada River and parallel to the Vindhya range. Location 4 typically represents the Satpura range.
– **Mahadeo (D):** A part of the Satpura range, located in Madhya Pradesh. Location 3 is likely representing a section of the Satpura range, specifically the Mahadeo Hills area.
Based on these typical locations: A (Satpura) is at 4, B (Vindhya) is at 2, C (Aravalli) is at 1, D (Mahadeo) is at 3. This arrangement matches option A. The Narmada river flows between the Vindhya (2) and Satpura (4) ranges.
