Q. Consider the following statements: - The Ramganga river rises in the Garhwal hills near Gairsain.
- The Mahananda river rises in the Milam glacier in the Nepal Himalayas.
- The Sarda or Saryu river rises in the Darjiling hills.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer:
Only 1
Notes: The Ramganga originates in the Garhwal hills near Gairsain. The Mahananda river actually rises in the Darjiling hills, not the Milam glacier. The Sarda or Saryu starts from the Milam glacier in the Nepal Himalayas, not Darjiling. Hence, only statement 1 is correct; statements 2 and 3 are incorrect.
