Q. Consider the following statements: 
  1. Satluj is the easternmost tributary of the Indus River
  2. Before joining Indus, Satluj meets Beas as well as Chenab
Which among the above statements is/ are correct?

Answer: Both are correct
Notes: The correct answer is "None of them is correct." Explanation: 1. The Satluj River is indeed the easternmost tributary of the Indus River, making the first statement correct. 2. However, the Satluj does not meet the Beas or Chenab before joining the Indus. The Beas is a separate tributary that flows into the Indus, and the Chenab is further west. Therefore, the second statement is incorrect. Trivia: The Indus River system is one of the longest river systems in the world, spanning over 3,000 kilometers.
