SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 27

The correct answer is Option 4  i.e. Beas.

According to the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, the eastern rivers of the water system – Sutlej, Ravi, and Beas – were allocated to India for its unrestricted use. Conversely, the three western rivers – Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab – were assigned to Pakistan. This landmark treaty, mediated by the World Bank, has largely remained effective despite various conflicts between the two nations, providing a framework for water sharing in the Indus Basin.
