Question

The correct match between the following mountain ranges and their highest peaks is:

• A. Alps : Mont Blanc, Rockies - Mount Albert, Andes - Mount Aconcagua, Karakoram - K2
• B. Alps : Mount Albert, Rockies - Aconcagua, Andes - Mont Blanc, Karakoram - K2
• C. Alps : Mount Albert, Rockies - Aconcagua, Andes - K2, Karakoram - Mont Blanc
• D. Alps : Mont Blanc, Rockies - Aconcagua, Andes - Mount Albert, Karakoram - K2
• E. Alps : Aconcagua, Rockies - Mount Albert, Andes - Mont Blanc, Karakoram - K2

Hint:

Remember the “highest peaks”: Alps → Mont Blanc, Rockies → Mount Elbert, Andes → Aconcagua, Karakoram → K2. These are often repeated in GK exams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Alps.
The highest peak in the Alps is Mont Blanc (4,810 m).
Step 2: Rockies.
The highest peak in the Canadian Rockies is Mount Robson, but in the broader Rockies, Mount Elbert (not Albert) is highest in the US Rockies. The option lists “Mount Albert,” likely a typo, but it refers to Mount Elbert.
Step 3: Andes.
The highest peak in the Andes is Mount Aconcagua (6,962 m).
Step 4: Karakoram.
The highest peak in the Karakoram range is K2 (8,611 m).
Thus option (A) correctly pairs each mountain range with its highest peak.
\[ \boxed{A} \]
