Q 42. Pliz have a look.... I find Duars formation is common in foothills of both sikkim,darjeeling himalayas and of arunachal himalayas..... Correct me if m wrong... How preference is given to sikkim darjeeling himalayas?

The NCERT mentions about arunachal himalayas due to roughed topography the inter-valley transportation linkages are notional so, most interactions are through duar region along arunachal assam border. Pg no 14

We are supposed to find the best suitable option. If such a question comes in UPSC, we cannot fight with them. The answer will be Sikkim and Darjeeling Himalayas in this ase.

TEST 25  Q 13

Answer is A as per the explanation and otherwise but the correct answer given is C

The boundary line separating one drainage basin from the other is known as Water divide 

There is nothing wrong with the second statement, The boundary line separating one drainage basin from the other is known as the watershed. A drainage divide, water divide, divide, ridgeline, watershed, water parting or height of land is elevated terrain that separates neighboring drainage basins. The answer will be c only. They must have been trying to elaborate on the second statement's explanation.
