Which river of north India is also known as the Chandrabhaga in Himachal Pradesh?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. Chenab.

The Chenab River is called Chandrabhaga in Himachal Pradesh because it originates from the confluence of two streams – Chandra and Bhaga – near Keylong in the Lahaul-Spiti region. This name reflects its Himalayan origin before it flows into Jammu and Kashmir and later into Pakistan.
