  2. 2.Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake.
  3. 3.Meandering of the Gandak River formed Kanwar Lake.

How many of the statements given above are correct?

  1. A.Only one
  2. B.Only two
  3. C.All three
  4. D.None
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: A. Only one

The Jhelum River is integral to the formation and sustenance of Wular Lake, a significant freshwater lake in Kashmir. Kolleru Lake is primarily fed by the Godavari and Krishna rivers, but the Krishna river does not directly feed into it; rather, its distributaries and other smaller streams contribute. Kanwar Lake, also known as KANWAR TAL, is indeed a ox-bow lake formed by the meandering of the Gandak River, which is a tributary of the Ganges.
