Q. Where does the river Sone originate?
Answer: Amarkantak Hills
Notes: The Sone River originates from the Amarkantak Hills located in Madhya Pradesh near districts like Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi and Anuppur. It flows north-northwest through Madhya Pradesh, then east-northeast via Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Bihar, joining the Ganges near Patna. The river is approximately 784 km long and has tributaries including the Rihand, Kanhar, and North Koel rivers. The other options refer to plateaus in Jharkhand, which are not the source of the Sone River.
