Detailed Solution

The Western Ghats are lower than the Eastern Ghats.
The eastern ghats run lined up with the eastern beachfront fields of India.
Dissimilar to the western ghats, they are irregular and are analyzed by the waterways that channel into the Bay of Bengal. The eastern ghats are lower in height than the western ghats. The most noteworthy pinnacle of Eastern Ghats is the Jindhagada top (1690 meters). It is otherwise called Arma Konda or Sitamma Konda. Anamudi is often called the Everest of South India. It is a mountain in Kerala and lies on the boundary between Ernakulam and Idukki locale. Anamudi is the highest mountain top in South India and the Western Ghats. The Elevation of Anamudi is 2,695 meters. Therefore (A) is true, but (R) is false.
