Consider the following rivers: 1. Kishenganga 2. Ganga 3. Wainganga 4. Penganga The correct sequence of these rivers when arranged in the northsouth direction is

1. The question asks for the correct north-south sequence of the given rivers. 2. Kishenganga (Neelum River) is a tributary of the Jhelum River, located in the northernmost part of India (Jammu and Kashmir). (Furthest North) 3. Ganga flows through the North Indian plains, south of the Himalayas where Kishenganga is located. 4. Wainganga and Penganga are tributaries of the Godavari River in Central/Peninsular India. They flow south of the Ganga basin. 5. Comparing Wainganga and Penganga: Penganga joins Wainganga from the west. The Wainganga itself flows generally south/southeast. Penganga's upper course is generally north of Wainganga's main course before their confluence. However, both are part of the Godavari system in the Deccan plateau, significantly south of the Ganga. 6. Considering the overall north-south arrangement: Kishenganga (I) is northernmost, followed by Ganga (II). Then come the Godavari tributaries. Penganga (IV) generally originates and flows slightly north of the main Wainganga (III) course before joining it. Thus, the sequence from north to south is Kishenganga (I), Ganga (II), Penganga (IV), Wainganga (III).
