Explanation:
The Garo Hills is a mountain range located in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India. Lum Shyllong, also known as Shillong Peak, is the highest peak in the state and is located in the East Khasi Hills district, not in the Garo Hills. Therefore, the pair of Garo Hills - Lum Shyllong is incorrect.
Let's look at the other options to understand why they are correct:
a) Western Ghats - Anamudi:
The Western Ghats is a mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of India. Anamudi is the highest peak in the Western Ghats and is located in the state of Kerala. This pair is correct.
b) Satpura - Dhupgarh:
The Satpura Range is a range of hills in central India. Dhupgarh is the highest peak in the Satpura Range and is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. This pair is correct.
c) Vindhyas - Goodwill peak:
The Vindhyas is a range of hills and mountains in central India. Goodwill peak is not a well-known or recognized peak in the Vindhyas. It is possible that it may refer to a local peak or a lesser-known peak, but it is not the highest peak in the Vindhyas. Therefore, this pair is incorrect.
In conclusion, the incorrect pair is option 'D': Garo Hills - Lum Shyllong.
