Solution

The correct option is A 1 and 3 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Shiwalik Range is the outermost range of the Himalayas. It is located between the Great Plains and the Lesser Himalayas.

Statement 2 is correct: Shivalik is composed of unconsolidated sediments brought down by rivers from the main Himalayan ranges located farther north.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The eastern part of the Shiwalik range up to Nepal is covered with thick forests but the forest cover becomes thin in the west. (REASON: The quantum of rainfall decreases from east to west in the Shiwaliks).
