Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.
A
The Barak River basin extends into Manipur and Mizoram
B
Patkai Bum, Naga Hills and Lushai Hills are low hills inhabited by numerous tribal groups practising jhum cultivation
C
Both (1) and (2) are right
D
None of these
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
The Barak River basin extends across several north-eastern states, including Manipur and Mizoram. The Patkai Bum, Naga and Lushai or Mizo hill systems are part of the north-eastern hill region, where many tribal communities traditionally practise shifting cultivation, locally known as jhum. Hence both statements are accepted as correct.
