SSC CHSL 2019 PYQ — Question 42

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Ganga.

• The distributary of the Ganges River is known as the 'Padma' in Bangladesh.
• The Padma River serves as the main channel of the greater Ganges (Ganga) River within Bangladesh.
• For approximately 90 miles (145 km), the Ganges forms the western boundary between India and Bangladesh before entering Bangladesh at the northern edge of the Kushtia district, where it becomes the upper segment of the Padma River.
• The Padma River is notorious for severe bank erosion, shifting channels, and the frequent emergence of sandbars along its course.
