Consider the following statements: 1. In India, the Himalayas are spread over five States only. 2. Western Ghats are spread over five States only. 3. Pulicat Lake is spread over two States only. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. The Himalayas in India extend across more than five States. They spread over Jammu & Kashmir (now UTs of J&K and Ladakh), Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, as well as touching parts of West Bengal (Darjeeling hills) and Assam. Counting the major states and UTs involved, it's clearly more than five. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. The Western Ghats spread over six States: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, not five States only. 3. Statement 3 is correct. Pulicat Lake, the second largest brackish water lagoon in India, straddles the border of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Therefore, it is spread over two States only. 4. Hence, only statement 3 is correct.
