Solution
Old fold mountains have been existing for a long period of time. The forces of degradation have acted on them for centuries and they have gradually been worn down. For example, mountains like the Aravallis are older than the the Himalayas; this makes them more vulnerable to external forces. Hence, they are much shorter and have less lofty peaks compared to the Himalayas. This is the reason old fold mountains have low heights and rounded peaks.
