Which of the following island groups of India is separated from each other by the Ten Degree Channel?
A. Andaman group and Nicobar group✓ Correct Answer
B. Minicoy and the rest of Lakshadweep
C. India and Sri Lanka
D. South Andaman and Little Andaman
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Ten Degree Channel acts as a crucial maritime boundary separating the Andaman group of islands from the Nicobar group in the Bay of Bengal. Other passages like the Eight Degree Channel separate Minicoy from the Maldives rather than dividing the Andaman and Nicobar chains. This geographical demarcation is vital for maritime navigation and territorial administration in Indian waters.
