1. Statement (A): "Netarhat is located at a height of 3696 feet."
In Paragraph 1, the text explicitly states: "It is located at an altitude of 3696 feet, allowing people to enjoy magnificent views." Thus, statement (A) is correct.
2. Statement (B): "It is referred to as the ‘Queen of Chota Nagpur’."
In Paragraph 1, the text states: "Explore the surreal beauty of this beautiful place, also known as “Queen of Chota Nagpur”..." Thus, statement (B) is correct.
