The part lying between Teesta and Dihang rivers is known as Assam Himalayas. III. The part of Himalayas lying between Indus and Satluj has been known as Nepal Himalayas.

Answer

Only III

Why?

The Correct answer is Only III Key Points The part of the Himalayas lying between the Indus and Satluj rivers is known as the Punjab Himalayas , not the Nepal Himalayas. The Kumaon Himalayas lie between the Satluj and Kali rivers, which makes statement I correct. The Assam Himalayas stretch between the Teesta and Dihang rivers, confirming statement II as correct. Therefore, the incorrect statement is III, as it wrongly labels the part of the Himalayas between Indus and Satluj as Nepal Himalayas. Additional Information Kumaon Himalayas Located between the rivers Satluj and Kali. Known for its beautiful landscapes and hill stations like Nainital and Almora. Assam Himalayas Stretches between the Teesta and Dihang rivers. Famous for its rich biodiversity and the presence of the Eastern Himalayan ranges.
