Question

With reference to the Indus river system, of the following four rivers, three of them pour into one of them which joins the Indus directly. Among the following, which one is such a river that joins the Indus directly?

Accepted Answer

The Sutlej River is a major tributary of the Indus River. While the Chenab, Jhelum, and Ravi rivers are also tributaries of the Indus, they all eventually merge into the Sutlej before the Sutlej itself flows into the Indus. Therefore, the Sutlej is the river among the options that directly joins the Indus, after receiving the waters of the other three. The other three rivers converge upstream and then flow as the Chenab into the Sutlej.
