The question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.


Here is the complete question 


Question 

How many Indian states are there which don't have any coast line or share an international land border  ???





Answer 



This question requires a good  knowledge of Indian map.


Lets start from South India.


The South Indian states  wil not come into picture as they have costlines.


We are left with  Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgadh and jharkhand..


Bihar and West Bengal share international border.


In the west we have states sharing international border.


In the east also, states are sharing international border.


In the  north, we have only Haryana which neither have costlines nor international border.


Delhi is not a state.


In South India, we have forgotten about Telangana !!!!!


Telangana don't have coast or share international border.


Finally we are left with 

          Haryana 

         Madhya Pradesh 

          Chattisgadh 

          Jharkhand

          Telangana 


We have got 5 states which don't have coast line or share international land border.

Reptiles with unusual hunting methods

 Reptiles are the quite hunters.


Here is the list of reptiles each employing an unique method to catch its prey.


1.  Alligators and Crocodile

          These are patient hunters often waiting motionless in water.



2.   Chameleon 

         These are the precision hunters and they use their rapid tongue extension to snatch the insects from the distance.





3.  Geckoes

            They use their adhesive toe pad to climb smoothly and ambush their prey from the above.




4.  Python 

             They coil around their prey and suffocate it. Then they swallow whole of the prey.



5.  Sea snakes 

                They hunt in coral reefs, using their venom to instantly immobalize the fish.
