With reference to the hydrological characteristics and drainage network of the Krishna River system in Peninsular India, consider the following statements:
1. The Koyna, Bhima, and Musi rivers are all major left-bank tributaries joining the Krishna mainstem in its upper and middle reaches.
2. The Tungabhadra River, formed by the confluence of the Tunga and Bhadra streams in the Western Ghats, constitutes the largest right-bank tributary of the Krishna River.
3. The Ghataprabha and Malaprabha rivers originate in the Sahyadri range and join the Krishna River from its right bank.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
- A1 and 2 only
- 2 and 3 onlyCevap
- C1 and 3 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Cevap
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. The Tungabhadra, Ghataprabha, and Malaprabha are right-bank tributaries of the Krishna River, while the Koyna is also a right-bank tributary (not left-bank). The Bhima and Musi are left-bank tributaries.
The choice specifying statements 2 and 3 only is correct. The Tungabhadra is the principal right-bank tributary formed by the confluence of the Tunga and Bhadra streams. Similarly, the Ghataprabha and Malaprabha originate in the Western Ghats and join the Krishna River from its right bank. Statement 1 is incorrect because the Koyna River is a right-bank tributary, whereas only Bhima, Musi, Munneru, and Dindi are left-bank tributaries.
