Question

Name the district of Kerala sharing its border with both Karnataka and TamilNadu

• A. Palakkad
• B. Wayanad
• C. Idukki
• D. Malappuram

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Wayanad

Wayanad is the only district in Kerala that shares its border with both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Geographical Position:

• Wayanad is located in the northeastern part of Kerala

• It is bounded by Karnataka to the north and northeast

• Tamil Nadu lies to the southeast of Wayanad

• This unique geographical position makes it the only district in Kerala sharing borders with both neighboring states

Border Details:

• Karnataka Border: Wayanad shares its border with Kodagu (Coorg) and Mysuru districts of Karnataka

• Tamil Nadu Border: It shares its border with Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu

Other Districts:

• Palakkad: Shares border only with Tamil Nadu (Coimbatore district)

• Idukki: Shares border only with Tamil Nadu (Theni, Dindigul, and Madurai districts)

• Malappuram: Does not share borders with either Karnataka or Tamil Nadu

Therefore, Wayanad is the correct answer as it is strategically positioned at the tri-junction of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
