Which of the following rivers is INCORRECTLY matched with its respective place of origin?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Sutlej - Dal Lake.

  • The river Sutlej is incorrectly matched with its respective place of origin. The Sutlej does not originate from Dal Lake. Instead, the Sutlej River originates from the Rakshastal Lake, which is one of the lakes in the Tibetan Plateau. It then flows through the western Himalayas before entering Pakistan and eventually joining the Indus River.
  • The Ganga originates from the Gangotri glacier in the Indian Himalayas.
  • Therefore, the correct match would be Sutlej - Rakshastal Lake, not Dal Lake.
