📚 Practice ConceptSpecies diversity: The diversity at the species level, for example, the Western Ghats have a greater amphibian species diversity than the Eastern Ghats.
Assertion (A): The Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats differ in their amphibian species diversity. Reason (R): The Eastern Ghats have greater amphibian species diversity than the Western Ghats.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
NCERT states “The Western Ghats have a greater amphibian species diversity than the Eastern Ghats.” The Assertion is true - there is indeed a difference in amphibian diversity between these regions. However, the Reason is false - it reverses the relationship. NCERT clearly states Western Ghats have greater diversity, not Eastern Ghats.
