Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1 only

• Correct Answer: Option A) 1 only

• Statement 1: The tributaries of the Godavari such as Pranhita and Manjra are among the largest in Peninsular India.This statement is correct.

• The Godavari is the largest river system in Peninsular India, and Pranhita and Manjra are indeed among its major tributaries. The Pranhita is formed by the confluence of three rivers - Wainganga, Wardha, and Penganga. The Manjra is another significant tributary that joins the Godavari from the north.

• Statement 2: The Wainganga is a tributary of the Mahanadi.This statement is incorrect.

• The Wainganga is not a tributary of the Mahanadi but of the Godavari river system. The Wainganga joins with the Wardha river to form the Pranhita, which then flows into the Godavari. The major tributaries of the Mahanadi include the Seonath, Mand, Hasdo, Ong, and Tel rivers.
