Question

Which of the following rivers flows entirely through Indian territory before joining the Satluj?

• A. Jhelum
• B. Ravi
• C. Beas
• D. Chenab

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Beas

• Correct Answer: Option C - Beas

• The question asks about which river flows entirely through Indian territory before joining the Sutlej River. Among the given options:

• Jhelum - This river originates in Kashmir Valley at Verinag Spring and flows through both India and Pakistan. It doesn't flow entirely within Indian territory.

• Ravi - This river rises in the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh but flows through both India and Pakistan before joining the Chenab River (not the Sutlej).

• Beas - The Beas River originates near the Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh and flows entirely within Indian territory before joining the Sutlej River at Harike in Punjab.

• Chenab - This river is formed by the confluence of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers in Himachal Pradesh but flows through both India and Pakistan.

• The Beas is the only river among these options that remains completely within India throughout its course and joins the Sutlej River. After their confluence, the combined waters eventually flow into Pakistan.
