Detailed Solution

After the Himalayas, the Karakoram range is the second highest mountain range in the world.
On the border between Pakistan and China, in the Karakoram Mountains, stands K2. It is the third highest mountain peak in the world. Its height is 8586 meters. It is located between Nepal and India. Until 1852, it was considered the highest mountain in the world. Later, through further calculations and measurements, Peak XV, now known as Everest, was determined to be the highest mountain. In 1856, Kanchenjunga was formally recognized as the third highest peak.
So option 2 is correct.
