Question

Choose the combination names all of the cities through which the Ganga river passes:
(A) Delhi
(B) Rishikesh
(C) Haridwar
(D) Prayagraj
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (D) only
• B. (A), (B) and (C) only
• C. (B), (C) and (D) only
• D. (A), (B), (C) and (D)

Hint:

Delhi lies on the Yamuna river, not on the Ganga.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We must pick the cities that lie on the bank of the Ganga among Delhi, Rishikesh, Haridwar and Prayagraj.

Step 2: Key Fact:
The Ganga comes out of the mountains at Rishikesh, enters the plains at Haridwar, and meets the Yamuna at Prayagraj (Allahabad). Delhi lies on the Yamuna, not on the Ganga.

Step 3: Check each city.
(A) Delhi is on the Yamuna, so it is not correct. (B) Rishikesh is on the Ganga, so it is correct. (C) Haridwar is on the Ganga, so it is correct. (D) Prayagraj is at the Ganga-Yamuna confluence, so it is correct.

Step 4: Match with options.
Only (B), (C) and (D) are correct. Option 1 and option 2 include Delhi, and option 4 includes all four cities. So option 3 is the answer.

Final Answer:
The Ganga passes through Rishikesh, Haridwar and Prayagraj, but not Delhi. This is option 3. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
