Indian Rivers and Waterways

This is the correct answer as both these are fresh water lakes in North-Western Himalayas.

This is the correct answer. These type of mountains are tectonic in origin, dissected by fast-flowing rivers, which are in their youthful stage. Various landforms like gorges, V-shaped valleys, rapids, waterfalls, etc. are indicative of this stage.

This is the correct answer as both statements are correct.

The Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) was a social movement against the construction of large dams on the Narmada River, particularly the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat. Led by Medha Patkar and others, it raised concerns about displacement, environmental impact, and rehabilitation. Tehri Dam is on the Bhagirathi River in Uttarakhand, Tawa Dam is in Madhya Pradesh, and Rihand Dam is in Uttar Pradesh.

The Brahmaputra River is known as the Jamuna in Bangladesh. After entering Bangladesh, the Brahmaputra flows southwest and is joined by the Teesta River, then continues as the Jamuna until it merges with the Ganga (Padma) near Aricha.

The Kaveri River originates in Karnataka, flows through Tamil Nadu, and forms part of the boundary with Puducherry (Pondicherry). It is one of the major rivers in South India and is considered sacred. The other options include states through which the Kaveri does not flow.

Punjab is called the Land of Five Rivers because its name comes from Persian words 'Panj' (five) and 'Ab' (water), referring to the five rivers that flow through it: Beas, Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej.

Baglihar Dam is a hydroelectric project constructed on the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir. It is located in the Doda district and is a run-of-the-river power project.

The Narmada River originates from the Amarkantak hills in Madhya Pradesh. It is one of the major rivers in central India and flows westward into the Arabian Sea. The other options - Krishna, Mahanadi, and Kaveri - rise from different locations in the Western Ghats or other regions.

Narmada is a major west-flowing river in India that empties into the Arabian Sea. It flows through a rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges. The other options (Cauvery, Krishna, Ganges) are all east-flowing rivers that empty into the Bay of Bengal.

The Godavari River is called 'Dakshin Ganga' (Ganga of the South) due to its length and religious significance. It is the longest river in peninsular India and flows through multiple states, similar to how the Ganga dominates northern India.

Both statements are factually correct. Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery are major peninsular rivers that flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal. The Bhagirathi River originates from the Gaumukh glacier in the Gangotri glacier and is one of the two headstreams of the Ganges (the other being Alaknanda). These are standard geographical facts about Indian rivers.

Yes, it is correct. All the three rivers given in the option, have their origin in the Himalaya.

Ganga is the river of India and Thames of England. 

The Ganga was declared the National River of India in 2008 to conservation and clean the polluted river. It holds cultural and religious significance in India and is considered the holiest river.
