Read the below statements: Statement I: The 'Zoji La pass' serves as a very important link between the Kashmir Valley and the Ladakh region, cutting through the Great Himalayan Range. Statement II: The 'Shipki La pass' is located in Arunachal Pradesh and serves as a primary gateway for the river Brahmaputra to enter India from Tibet. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Only Statement I is correct
The question gives two statements about Himalayan passes and asks which is correct, so each must be tested against geography.
Statement I says Zoji La serves as a very important link between the Kashmir Valley and the Ladakh region, cutting through the Great Himalayan Range.
This is correct: Zoji La is a high pass on the Great Himalaya that carries the vital Srinagar–Leh road, connecting the Kashmir Valley with Ladakh.
Statement II says Shipki La lies in Arunachal Pradesh and lets the Brahmaputra enter India from Tibet, but this is wrong on both counts.
Shipki La is actually located in Himachal Pradesh, and it is the point where the river Sutlej, not the Brahmaputra, enters India from Tibet.
The Brahmaputra enters India through Arunachal Pradesh near the Dihang gorge, so associating it with Shipki La compounds the error, making Statement II incorrect.
Since only the first statement holds, the answer is Only Statement I is correct.
