• Bari Doab lies between Beas and Ravi Rivers - This statement is correct. Bari Doab is the fertile land between the Beas and Ravi rivers in Punjab.

• Sindh-Sagar Doab lies between Beas and Jhelum Rivers - This statement is incorrect. Sindh-Sagar Doab actually lies between the Indus (Sindh) River and the Jhelum River, not between Beas and Jhelum.

• Bist Doab: Between Beas and Sutlej

• Bari Doab: Between Beas and Ravi

• Rachna Doab: Between Ravi and Chenab

• Chaj Doab: Between Chenab and Jhelum
