Statement 1: Every South Indian state has a coastline.

Statement 2: Southern India is a part of the Indian Peninsula.

• A. Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false
• B. Both statements are false
• C. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true
• D. Both statements are true

Answer 1

The correct option is C Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true

The uniqueness of southern India is that it is a part of the Indian Peninsula. However, not every South Indian state has a coastline of its own. Telangana is the one South Indian state that does not in fact possess a coastline. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh are all states that do possess a coastline of their own.
