Cevap

The Bhima River is a major left-bank tributary of the Krishna River.
The Bhima River originates in the Western Ghats near Bhimashankar in Maharashtra and flows across Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana before joining the Krishna River from its left bank near Raichur. It is the longest left-bank tributary of the Krishna River.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the direction of flow of the Krishna River system.
The Krishna River originates near Mahabaleshwar in the Western Ghats and flows eastward toward the Bay of Bengal.
Flowing eastward means tributaries joining from the north are left-bank tributaries, while those joining from the south are right-bank tributaries.
2
Classify the tributaries of the Krishna River by bank orientation.
Left-bank tributaries include Bhima, Musi, Dindi, and Munneru. Right-bank tributaries include Koyna, Panchganga, Ghataprabha, Malaprabha, and Tungabhadra.
Differentiating tributary orientation is essential for understanding river basin geography.
3
Identify the correct option among the choices.
The Bhima River is the only left-bank tributary listed among the options.
Tungabhadra, Koyna, and Ghataprabha all join the Krishna River from its right bank.
