Hi Forum,

Which among the following areas in India lie in very high risk damage zone under
earthquake hazard zones?
1. Ladakh
2. Arunachal Pradesh
3. Assam
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
a) 1 and 2 only
b) 2 and 3 only
c) 1 and 3 only
d) 1, 2 and 3

2 and 3 are definitely in the very high-risk zone.
regarding Ladakh, there are 2 circles in the J&K region indicating level 4 risk as compared to the rest in the level5 zone. Ladakh could be in one of those circles.
So the options to choose from are b and d.
But since Ladakh is the whole triangular region(as per the new map), it won't be right to rule it out because of those 2 small circles.
So most probably (d) should be the answer.

a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) Both 1 and 2
d) Neither 1 nor 2

Although I've always been confused between the acid and basic lava, but due to viscosity, both the statements are contradictory. hence both can't be true so c is eliminated. Viscosity and silica I think are related therefore statement 1 is wrong too.
I think the answer would be d, since most probably basic lavas are less viscous.

Ans must be "B".

Speech is all about the fact  "Indian nationalism was an elite phenomenon, he wants it to be more representative". He had a basic say about 75% of population which were agriculturists during that time.
