- A1-2-3
- B2-1-3
- C1-3-2Correct
- D2-3-1
Explanation
The correct sequence from north to south is 1-3-2 based on their geographical locations in India.
1. Mahadeo Hills: These are located in the northern part of the Satpura Range in Madhya Pradesh. They represent the northernmost point among the three options.
2. Satpura Range: This range runs parallel to the Vindhyas and lies mostly south of the Mahadeo Hills, stretching across central India through states like Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
3. Sahyadri Parvat: Also known as the Western Ghats, this range begins south of the Tapti River, starting near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra and stretching down to the southern tip of India.
Therefore, moving from north to south, the order is Mahadeo Hills, followed by the Satpura Range, and finally the Sahyadri Parvat.
