Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|l|} \hline \text{LIST-I} & \text{River} & \text{LIST-II} & \text{Source} \\ \hline A. & \text{Satluj} & I. & \text{Bara Lacha Pass} \\ \hline B. & \text{Beas} & II. & \text{Manasarovar-Rakas Lakes} \\ \hline C. & \text{Chenab} & III. & \text{Verinag} \\ \hline D. & \text{Jhelum} & IV. & \text{Near Rohtang Pass} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 

• A. A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• C. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III

Hint:

Sources of important Himalayan rivers: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Satluj} &\rightarrow \text{Manasarovar-Rakas Lakes}, \text{Beas} &\rightarrow \text{Near Rohtang Pass}, \text{Chenab} &\rightarrow \text{Bara Lacha Pass}, \text{Jhelum} &\rightarrow \text{Verinag Spring}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Satluj--Manasarovar, Beas--Rohtang, Chenab--Bara Lacha, Jhelum--Verinag.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The major rivers of the Indus system originate from different glaciers, lakes, and springs in the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau.

Step 1: Match each river with its source. \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Satluj} &\rightarrow \text{Manasarovar-Rakas Lakes}, \text{Beas} &\rightarrow \text{Near Rohtang Pass}, \text{Chenab} &\rightarrow \text{Bara Lacha Pass}, \text{Jhelum} &\rightarrow \text{Verinag}. \end{aligned} } \]

Step 2: Convert into the given matching. \[ \boxed{ A\!-\!II,\; B\!-\!IV,\; C\!-\!I,\; D\!-\!III } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
