The Palghat Gap in the Western Ghats is geographically significant chiefly because it: / पश्चिमी घाट का पालघाट दर्रा भौगोलिक दृष्टि से मुख्यतः इसलिए महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि यह:

1.
Separates the Aravalli Range from the Vindhyan Range
2.
Forms the only navigable water gap in the Eastern Ghats
3.
Provides the lowest rail and road pass through the Western Ghats, linking Tamil Nadu with Kerala
4.

Correct Answer: Provides the lowest rail and road pass through the Western Ghats, linking Tamil Nadu with Kerala

Correct — the Palghat Gap (about 140 m elevation) is the lowest major break in the Western Ghats and carries the principal rail/road corridor between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Distractor (b) is doubly wrong: the Gap is in the Western Ghats, not the Eastern Ghats, and it is a land pass, not a water gap. / सही उत्तर — पालघाट दर्रा (लगभग 140 मीटर ऊँचाई) पश्चिमी घाट का सबसे नीचा प्रमुख दर्रा है और तमिलनाडु–केरल के बीच प्रमुख रेल/सड़क मार्ग धारण करता है। विकल्प (b) दोहरा गलत है: यह पूर्वी घाट में नहीं, पश्चिमी घाट में है और जलमार्ग नहीं, स्थल दर्रा है।
