Arrange the following rivers as they occur in the North-South direction in India. Beas, Indus, Chenab, Satluj, Ravi

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Indus, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, Satluj.

 

When arranged from North to South, the correct order of the rivers is: Indus → Chenab → Ravi → Beas → Satluj.

  • The Indus River originates in Tibet and flows through northernmost parts of Jammu & Kashmir.

  • The Chenab lies just south of Indus.

  • Then comes Ravi, which flows near the India-Pakistan border.

  • Beas flows further south and joins the Satluj.

  • Finally, Satluj, which originates near Mansarovar Lake, flows further south and westward.

This sequence reflects their actual geographic flow from the northern Himalayas downwards through Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
