 | Spectrum Coaching Institute answered |
Statement-I accurately describes the Trans-Himalayas as the Himalayan Ranges situated to the north of the Great Himalayan Range, spanning about 1,000 kilometers in an east-west direction. However, Statement-II incorrectly describes the Greater Himalayas, also known as Himadri, focusing on their geological composition and orientation across various regions, which is unrelated to the Trans-Himalayas. Therefore, Statement-I is correct in the context of the Trans-Himalayas, while Statement-II is incorrect.

| | Spectrum Coaching Institute answered |
The Himalayas were formed as a result of the collision between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This convergence led to the gradual upliftment of the sedimentary layers from the former seabed, creating the massive mountain range we now know as the Himalayas. This ongoing tectonic activity continues to uplift the Himalayas at a rate of approximately 5 millimeters per year, showcasing the dynamic geological processes shaping our planet.

 | Vandana Shah answered |
Comparison between Northern and Southern slopes of Himalayas
- Precipitation: Southern Slopes receive more as compared to Northern Slopes as it lies in the rain shadow region.
- Vegetation: Southern Slopes are covered with thick vegetation whereas Northern Slopes are generally barren. The volume of precipitation decreases from the south towards the north
- Snowline: Due to a longer period of sunshine, less snow accumulates on the southern slopes than on the northern slopes.

1. Shiwalik or Outer Himalayas: The first statement is correct. The Shiwalik or Outer Himalayas are the southernmost range of the Himalayas, lying between the Middle Himalayas in the north and the Indo-Gangetic Plains in the south. This is a well-established geographical fact about the Himalayan ranges.
2. Purvanchal or Eastern Hills: The second statement is also correct. The Purvanchal or Eastern Hills extend from Arunachal Pradesh in the north to Mizoram in the south and serve as India's border with Myanmar. This correctly describes the geographical extent and significance of these hills.
3. Kumaon Himalayas: The third statement is incorrect. The Kumaon Himalayas, also known as Garhwal Himalayas in the west, lie between the Satluj River in the west and the Kali River in the east, not between the Indus River and the Sutlej River. The region between the Indus River and the Sutlej River is known as the Punjab Himalayas.
Thus, the correct answer is Option B.

2. Breaking of Pangea - 100 million years ago: Incorrect. Pangea began to break apart around 150 million years ago, not 100 million years ago.
3. Formation of Tethys Sea - After the breakup of Pangea: Correct. The breakup of Pangea led to the formation of the Tethys Sea between Laurasia and Gondwanaland.
4. Convergence of Indo-Australian and Eurasian Plates - Driven by mantle convection currents: Correct. The convergence of these plates was driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
Thus, pairs 1, 3, and 4 are correctly matched, while pair 2 is incorrect.

The Formation of the Himalayas
The Himalayas are one of the most significant mountain ranges in the world, formed through complex geological processes. Let’s analyze the statements provided.
Statement-I: Correct
- The Himalayas were indeed formed due to the convergence of the Indo-Australian Tectonic Plate with the Eurasian Tectonic Plate.
- This tectonic activity began around 50 million years ago and continues today, resulting in the uplift of the mountain range.
Statement-II: Correct
- The Tethys Sea was an ancient ocean that existed between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates.
- As the plates converged, the Tethys Sea gradually disappeared due to the subduction and uplift associated with the collision.
- This process led to the accumulation of sediments that eventually contributed to the rise of the Himalayas.
Relationship Between the Statements
- Statement-II explains the geological processes that occurred as a result of the convergence mentioned in Statement-I.
- The disappearance of the Tethys Sea and the uplift of sediments are integral to understanding how the Himalayas formed.
Conclusion
- Both statements are correct, and Statement-II provides a detailed explanation of the processes leading to the formation of the Himalayas.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A': Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct, and Statement-II explains Statement-I.

1. Statement 1 is correct. The Himalayas were indeed formed by the convergence of the Indo-Australian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic activity led to the upliftment of the sediments in the Tethys Sea, resulting in the formation of the Himalayan mountain range.
2. Statement 2 is correct. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangea led to the formation of the Tethys Sea between the northern Laurasia and the southern Gondwanaland. The sedimentation in the Tethys Sea and its eventual closure due to plate convergence were critical processes in the genesis of the Himalayas.
3. Statement 3 is incorrect. While the Himalayas continue to rise due to the ongoing convergence of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian Plates, the uplift rate is approximately 5 millimeters per year, not 10 millimeters per year.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.

Statement 1 is correct. The Zaskar Range indeed runs roughly parallel to the Great Himalayan Range, extending from the Suru River to the upper Karnali River and featuring peaks like Kamet.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The Karakoram Range is actually the northernmost part of the Trans-Himalayas in India, not the southernmost. It serves as the boundary between India and Afghanistan, as well as China.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The Ladakh Range is an extension of the Karakoram Range towards the southeast, not the southwest, stretching from the mouth of the Shyok River in North Kashmir towards the Indo-Tibetan borders.
Thus, only Statement 1 is correct.

Passive citizens of France
Passive citizens in France during the French Revolution were those who were not entitled to vote. They were classified as passive citizens because they did not have the right to participate in the election process.
Who were passive citizens?
Passive citizens in France included men and women who did not have the right to vote. The categories of people who were classified as passive citizens include:
- Men and women who did not qualify to be active citizens
- Men and women who did not have the right to vote
- Men and women who did not pay taxes
Why were they passive citizens?
Passive citizens were not allowed to participate in the election process because they did not meet the requirements to be active citizens. The criteria for active citizenship included:
- Being a French male
- Being at least 25 years old
- Paying taxes
- Being able to read and write
Passive citizens were not able to meet these criteria, and therefore they were not given the right to vote.
