Question from BPSC PT 70, 2024
Correct Answer: a) Southern Hilly Region
Explanation:
The Munger Hilly region is part of the Southern Hilly Region in Bihar, India. This region is characterized by rugged terrain, hills, and plateaus. It is located in the southern part of Bihar and forms part of the Chotanagpur Plateau’s extension. The Southern Hilly Region includes areas like Munger, Jamui, and Banka, which are known for their undulating topography and forested landscapes.
The other options are incorrect because:
– b) North Bihar Plain: This is a flat alluvial plain located in the northern part of Bihar, not associated with hilly terrain.
– c) Someshwar Hilly Range: This is a separate hilly range located in the northwestern part of Bihar, near the Nepal border.
– d) South Bihar Plain: This is a plain region in the southern part of Bihar, distinct from the hilly areas.
