Q25.
Identify the river of the Indian sub-continent on the basis of the following information : 1. It has an antecedent drainage system. 2. It flows through three countries. 3. It originates in the Tibetan Plateau and is an important river for irrigation. 4. It does not form distributaries. Select the answer from the following :
Answer
C
Explanation
The question tests the Sutlej's transboundary course and river-system relationships. The Sutlej rises in the Tibetan Plateau, flows through India and Pakistan and ultimately joins the Chenab to form part of the Panjnad system. These clues distinguish it from rivers that follow different courses or terminate independently.
