Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Madhya Pradesh.

The Indira Sagar Dam, a concrete gravity dam, is located in Madhya Pradesh. It is built on the Narmada River near Khandwa district and is one of the largest reservoirs in India, serving irrigation, hydroelectric power, and drinking water needs.

Other Options:

  1. Chhattisgarh – Incorrect, as the dam is not situated here, though the Narmada flows through parts of the state.

  2. Maharashtra – Incorrect, though Maharashtra shares the Narmada basin, the dam is in Madhya Pradesh.

  3. Uttar Pradesh – Incorrect, as the Narmada River does not flow through this state.

Thus, the correct answer is Madhya Pradesh, where the Indira Sagar Dam plays a crucial role in water and power supply.
