This questions was previously asked in

SSC CHSL 9th June 2022 Shift-1

Ladakh

Jammu and Kashmir

Himachal Pradesh

Sikkim

Let’s clear this up:

- Fotu La is a high mountain pass at 4108 m, known as the highest point on the Srinagar-Leh highway.

- It lies between Kargil and Leh, which is in Ladakh, not Jammu and Kashmir.

- Option 1: Ladakh—this is the right answer.

- Option 2: Jammu and Kashmir—used to include Ladakh, but since 2019, Ladakh is a separate Union Territory.

- Option 3: Himachal Pradesh—has its own high passes, but Fotu La isn’t one of them.

- Option 4: Sikkim—completely different region in the northeast, unrelated.

Here’s the thing: Fotu La sits in Ladakh, so that’s the answer.
