Question:
Which of the following statement(s) is/are NOT true? (1) Parangla pass lies between Kinnaur and Lahaul. (2) Manirang is the highest peak of Chamba. (3) Kalichho is the famous lake of the Chamba district. (4) Chobia pass lies between Ladakh and Lahaul. Choose the right answer:

Options

(1) All of the above
(2) None of the above
(3) 2 and 3
(4) 4 only
Answer: (3) 2 and 3

Explanation:
Statement 1 is true: Parangla (Parang La) pass does lie between Kinnaur and Lahaul (Spiti) — it connects the Spiti valley to the Ladakh region via Pin valley. Statement 2 is false: Manirang (6,593 m) is the highest peak of the Kinnaur district — NOT Chamba. The highest peak in Chamba is Kullu Pumori or ranges of Pir Panjal. Statement 3 is false: Kalichho (Khajjiar) is a famous lake/meadow in Chamba district, but 'Kalichho' specifically is associated with Chamba — however the famous lake of Chamba is Chamera or Manimahesh lake. The statement may be inaccurate about the specific lake name. Statement 4 is true: Chobia Pass connects the Chamba district with Lahaul, not specifically Ladakh. Hence statements 2 and 3 are not true.
