Correct Answerसही उत्तर

A. 8611 mA. 8611 मीटर

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 8611 metres.
According to the source, Mount K2, also referred to in the question as Mt.
Godwin Austen, has an elevation of 8611 metres.
The source additionally states that Mt.
K2 is located on the China-Pakistan border.
Therefore the direct source-supported revision chain is: Mt.
Godwin Austen → Mt.
K2 → elevation 8611 m → China-Pakistan border according to the book.
The other figures—8511 m, 8481 m and 8091 m—are distractors.
This question tests both geographical nomenclature and a numerical fact, so it is useful to remember the alternative name and elevation together.
The source does not provide further details about the mountain range, climbing history, ranking among the world's peaks or expeditions in this entry.
Therefore those facts have not been added from outside knowledge.
Quick revision: Godwin Austen = K2 = 8611 metres; location given by source = China-Pakistan border.
Therefore option (a) is correct.

सही उत्तर 8611 मीटर है। स्रोत के अनुसार Mount K2, जिसे question में Mt. Godwin Austen भी कहा गया है, की elevation 8611 metres है। Source यह भी बताती है कि Mt. K2 China-Pakistan border पर स्थित है। इसलिए direct source-supported revision chain है: Mt. Godwin Austen → Mt. K2 → 8611 मीटर → China-Pakistan Border according to source। 8511 मीटर, 8481 मीटर और 8091 मीटर distractors हैं। यह question geographical name और numerical fact दोनों को test करता है, इसलिए alternative name और elevation को साथ याद रखना उपयोगी है। Source इस entry में mountain range, climbing history, world ranking या expeditions की details नहीं देती। Quick revision: Godwin Austen = K2 = 8611 m; source location = China-Pakistan border। इसलिए विकल्प (a) सही है।
