Question

Which of the peak given in the choices is NOT one among the top 5 mountain peaks in India?

1. A. Trisul (Correct answer)
2. B. Kangchenjunga
3. C. Kamet
4. D. Nanda Devi

Correct Answer

Option A — Trisul

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Trisul.

Key Points

• Trisul (about 7,120 m) does not feature among India's five highest peaks.
• The top five are Kangchenjunga (8,586 m), Nanda Devi (7,816 m), Kamet (7,756 m), Saltoro Kangri (7,742 m) and Saser Kangri (7,672 m).
• Kangchenjunga, Nanda Devi and Kamet all appear in that list, so each of the other three options is ruled out.

Additional Information

• Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world and the highest entirely or partly within India, on the Sikkim–Nepal border.
• Nanda Devi is the highest peak lying wholly inside Indian territory.
