Consider the following statements :
- 1.Jhelum River passes through Wular Lake.
- 2.Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake.
- 3.Meandering of the Gandak River formed Kanwar Lake.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
- A.Only one
- B.Only two
- C.All three
- 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.
