Question

Which river system includes the Sharada, Tila, and Seti as its tributaries before joining the Ganga at Chapra?

• A. Gandak River
• B. Ghaghra River
• C. Ramganga River
• D. Kosi River

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Ghaghra River

• Correct Answer: Option A - Gandak River

• The Gandak River, also known as the Narayani River in Nepal, is a major tributary of the Ganga (Ganges) River. It originates in the high Himalayas of Nepal and Tibet, where several smaller rivers including the Sharada (also called Kali Gandaki), Tila, and Seti converge to form the main Gandak river system.

• The Gandak flows through Nepal and enters India at Valmikinagar in Bihar. It continues southeastward through Bihar before finally joining the Ganga River at Chapra (also spelled as Chhapra) in Bihar. This confluence point is significant in both geographical and cultural contexts.
