3) Ladakh is situated in the Eastern part of
a) Himachal Pradesh b) Jammu Kashmir c) Uttar Pradesh​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ladakh is situated in the eastern part of Jammu Kashmir

Answer 2

In the past Ladakh gained importance from its strategic location at the crossroads of important trade routes,[15] but since the Chinese authorities closed the borders with Tibet and Central Asia in the 1960s, international trade has dwindled except for tourism. Since 1974, the Government of India has successfully encouraged tourism in Ladakh. Since Ladakh is a part of the strategically important Kashmir region, the Indian military maintains a strong presence in the region.

The largest town in Ladakh is Leh, followed by Kargil, each of which headquarters a district.[16] The Leh district contains the Indus, Shyok and Nubra river valleys. The Kargil district contains the Suru, Dras and Zanskar river valleys. The main populated regions are the river valleys, but the mountain slopes also support the pastoral Changpa nomads. In contrast to the neighbouring Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh has a non-Muslim majority. The main religious groups in the region are Muslims (mainly Shia) (46%), Tibetan Buddhists (40%), Hindus (12%) and others (2%).[17][18] Ladakh is one of the most sparsely populated regions in India and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet.

Ladakh is the largest and the second least populous union territory of India..
