This question was previously asked in
UPSC IAS – 2024
1. Dhuandhar Waterfall, Malwa Region, Narmada River: Dhuandhar Falls are on the Narmada River near Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. While on the Narmada, Jabalpur is generally considered part of the Mahakoshal region or the Satpura range foothills, not the Malwa Plateau which is further west. So, the region match is incorrect.
2. Hundru Waterfall, Chota Nagpur Region, Subarnarekha River: Hundru Falls are on the Subarnarekha River near Ranchi in Jharkhand, which is part of the Chota Nagpur Plateau region. This row is correctly matched.
3. Gersoppa Waterfall, Western Ghats Region, Netravati River: Gersoppa Falls, now commonly known as Jog Falls, are located on the Sharavathi River in Shivamogga district of Karnataka, which is part of the Western Ghats. The region is correct, but the river is incorrect. Jog Falls is on the Sharavathi, not the Netravati River.
Therefore, only the second row is correctly matched.
– Hundru Falls are on the Subarnarekha River in Chota Nagpur.
– Gersoppa/Jog Falls are on the Sharavathi River in the Western Ghats.
