Correct Answer
A Only one
Model Answer
- The Kaveri rises at Talakaveri in the Brahmagiri range of the Western Ghats in the Kodagu district of Karnataka and flows into the Bay of Bengal near Kaveripattinam. Hence, row 1 is correctly matched.
- The spring at Verinag in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir is the source of the Jhelum and not of the Chenab. The Chenab is formed by the union of the Chandra and the Bhaga near Tandi in Himachal Pradesh and is also known as the Chandrabhaga. Hence, row 2 is not correctly matched.
- The Amarkantak plateau in Madhya Pradesh is the source of the Narmada and the Son. The Godavari rises at Trimbakeshwar in the Nashik district of Maharashtra and is called the Dakshin Ganga. Hence, row 3 is not correctly matched.
- Therefore, only one row is correctly matched.
