    Me Mahon Line separates

    A) Arunachal Pradesh and China

    B) Himachal Pradesh and China

    C) Sikkim and China

    D) Uttarakhand and China

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The 1,140km long boundary between India and China runs from the eastern limit of Bhutan to a point near Talu-Pass at the tri junction of India, Tibet and Myanmar. This line is usually referred to as the Me Mahon Line after Henry Me Mahon, a British representative who signed the 1913-14 Shimla Convention. This line normally runs along the crest of the Himalayas between Bhutan in the west and Myannar in the east. India stresses that it is the international boundary between India and China, but China has declined to accept it as an international boundary. China has laid claim on the whole of Arunachal Pradesh measuring over 88 thousand sq. km calling it 'South Tibet'.
