Solution(By Examveda Team)

The shape of the Himalayas is like an arc. The upper parts of the Himalayas are covered with perpetual snow. The snow fields cover about 40,000 sq. kms from Kashmir to Assam. The main crust of the Himalayan ranges rises above the snow line which varies between 4,500 to 6,000 meters in the west and 4,000 to 5,800 meters in the east.
