Question

Which among the following rivers is incorrectly matched with its origin?

• A. Dibang – Mishmi Hills
• B. Lohit – Arunachal Pradesh
• C. Subansiri – Bhutan
• D. Teesta – Sikkim

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Subansiri – Bhutan

• Correct Answer: Option C - Subansiri – Bhutan

• Dibang – Mishmi Hills: This is Correctly matched. The Dibang River originates in the Mishmi Hills of Arunachal Pradesh and is a tributary of the Brahmaputra.

• Lohit – Arunachal Pradesh: This is Correctly matched. The Lohit River originates in eastern Tibet but enters India through Arunachal Pradesh and is also a tributary of the Brahmaputra.

• Subansiri – Bhutan: This is Incorrectly matched. The Subansiri River actually originates in the Tibetan Plateau (in China), not in Bhutan. It flows through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam before joining the Brahmaputra.

• Teesta – Sikkim: This is Correctly matched. The Teesta River originates from the Pahunri (Teesta Kangse) glacier in Sikkim and flows through Sikkim and West Bengal.
