Consider the following statements: 1. Jhelum River passes through Wular Lake. 2. Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake 3. Meandering of 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: A

Explanation

1. Statement 1 is correct: Wular Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, is primarily fed by the Jhelum River in Jammu and Kashmir. The Jhelum River flows into and then out of the Wular Lake. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect: Kolleru Lake, located between the Krishna and Godavari deltas in Andhra Pradesh, is mainly fed by two seasonal rivers, Budameru and Tammileru, along with several drains and channels. The Krishna River does not directly feed Kolleru Lake. 3. Statement 3 is incorrect: Kanwar Lake, Asia’s largest freshwater oxbow lake located in Bihar, was formed by the meandering of the Burhi Gandak River, not the main Gandak River. The Burhi Gandak is a tributary of the Ganga. Therefore, only one statement is correct.
