Question

Which of the following rivers does not drain into the Arabian Sea through the Indus River system?

• A. Sutlej
• B. Beas
• C. Ravi
• D. Yamuna

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Yamuna

• Correct Answer: Option D - Yamuna

• The Indus River system includes several major tributaries that eventually flow into the Arabian Sea. These tributaries include:

• Sutlej (Option A) - It is one of the main tributaries of the Indus River. It originates in Tibet and flows through India and Pakistan before joining the Indus.

• Beas (Option B) - This river flows through Himachal Pradesh in India and then joins the Sutlej in Punjab before eventually becoming part of the Indus system.

• Ravi (Option C) - Another major tributary of the Indus River that flows through India and Pakistan.

• Yamuna (Option D) - This is the only river among the options that does NOT drain into the Arabian Sea through the Indus system. The Yamuna is a major tributary of the Ganga (Ganges) River, and together they flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal.
