Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1 & 2

• Correct Answer: Option A) 1 & 2

• The Teesta is indeed the fastest-flowing river in India. It originates in Sikkim and is known for its high velocity of water flow, especially during the monsoon season. It is a left bank tributary of the Brahmaputra.

• The Dibang, Lohit, and Dhansari are left bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra. The Dibang and Lohit join the Brahmaputra in Assam, while the Dhansari (also spelled as Dhansiri) is another significant left bank tributary.

• Kalang is correctly identified as a right bank tributary of the Brahmaputra. It flows through Assam and joins the Brahmaputra from the south.
