Which of the following pair of peak-country is correct?
I. Makalu – India
II. Dhaulagiri – Nepal

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Only II.
Dhaulagiri is indeed located in Nepal and is the seventh highest mountain in the world, standing at 8,167 meters (26,795 ft). It lies entirely within Nepal’s borders and is part of the Dhaulagiri range in the Himalayas. It is one of the major climbing peaks and is a well-known landmark in Nepalese geography.
On the other hand, Makalu, although close to the Indian border, is not in India. It lies on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is the fifth highest mountain in the world, at 8,485 meters (27,838 ft).
Thus, only Statement II is correct.
