Explanation:

3rd statement is incorrect i.e. The general Orientation of Purvanchal hill complex is from Southwest to Northeast.
The Purvanchal Mountains cover the states of Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram.
The range is an eastern extension of the Himalayan Range System, in northeastern India. It bends sharply to the south beyond the Dihang River gorge, and spreads along the eastern boundary of India with Myanmar. The Purvanchal range includes the hill ranges of the Patkai, Barail range, Manipur, Mizo, and Naga Hills.
The Garo, Khasi and Jaintia hills are part of Deccan Plateau, and not part of the Purvanchal range.
