Which of the following pairs of ancient and modern names of rivers is/are correctly matched ? r Vitasta Asikni Parushni 4. Yavyavati Chenab Jhelum Ravi Beas Select the answer using the code given below :
Answer
C
Explanation
The correct Vedic–modern river mapping is Parushni → Ravi. Vitasta is the Jhelum and Asikni is the Chenab; the Beas is Vipas/Vipasha, not Yavyavati. UPSC is testing precise ancient-name mapping rather than broad Punjab geography.
