With reference to the Indus river system, of the following four rivers, three of them pout into one of them which joins the Indus direct. Among the following, which one is such river that joins the Indus direct?

A. Chenab
B. Jhelum
C. Ravi
D. Sutlej

Answer: A

Explanation

The Indus originates in the northern slopes of the Kailash range in Tibet near Lake Manasarovar. It follows a north-westerly course through Tibet. It enters Indian territory in Jammu and Kashmir. The main tributaries of the Indus in India are Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. Jhelum and Ravi join Chenab, Beas joins Sutlej, and then Sutlej and Chenab join to form Panjnad, 10 miles north of Uch Sharif in Muzaﬀar Garh district. The combined stream runs southwest for approximately 44 miles and joins the Indus River at Mithankot.
