Hint:

Remember these important city--river pairs: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Hyderabad} &\rightarrow \text{Musi}, \text{Jabalpur} &\rightarrow \text{Narmada}, \text{Surat} &\rightarrow \text{Tapi}, \text{Cuttack} &\rightarrow \text{Mahanadi}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Hyderabad flows with the Musi.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The Musi River is a tributary of the Krishna River and flows through the city of Hyderabad in Telangana. It is historically significant and divides the old and new parts of the city.

Step 1: Identify the city on the Musi River. The city situated on the bank of the Musi River is \[ \boxed{\text{Hyderabad}} \]

Step 2: Eliminate the incorrect options. \[ \begin{aligned} A. &\ \text{Jabalpur} \rightarrow \text{Located on the Narmada River.} B. &\ \text{Hyderabad} \rightarrow \text{Located on the Musi River.}\checkmark C. &\ \text{Cuttack} \rightarrow \text{Located between the Mahanadi and Kathajodi Rivers.} D. &\ \text{Surat} \rightarrow \text{Located on the Tapi River.} \end{aligned} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
