Q149
Geography (incl. West Bengal)Population, Census & Tribes
Match the following:
List I (Tribe Name)
I. Toda
II. Adivasis
III. Gaddis
IV. Gond
List II (Location)
1. Bastar
2. Nilgiri
3. Himachal Pradesh
4. Madhya Pradesh
I II III IV
- a.1 2 4 3
- b.2 4 3 1
- c.4 3 1 2
- d.3 1 2 4
Answer: (B) 2 4 3 1
The Todas are a pastoral tribe of the Nilgiri hills known for buffalo herding (I–2), and the Gaddis are shepherds of the Dhauladhar region of Himachal Pradesh (III–3). That leaves the Gonds, the dominant tribe of Bastar in Chhattisgarh (IV–1), and the general term Adivasis for Madhya Pradesh, the state with the largest tribal population (II–4). So the order is 2, 4, 3, 1. Option (A) is wrong because it puts the Todas in Bastar.
