Mountain ranges
The oldest mountains of the world are present in India, and the youngest mountains of the world are present in?
Explanation and memory cue
The oldest mountains in India are the Aravalli Range, which are among the oldest mountain ranges in the world, formed over 1.8 billion years ago. The youngest major mountain range in the world is the Himalayas, which began forming about 40-50 million years ago. The Himalayas extend across several countries including India, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, and China. Since the youngest mountains (the Himalayas) are present in multiple countries, none of the single options (Pakistan, China, India) alone fully represent the location of the youngest mountains. Therefore, the most accurate answer is 'None of these' (option D).
