In the map shown in the given figure, rivers labelled as 1, 2, 3 and 4 are respectively
A
Kosi, Gomati, Ghaghara and Gandak
B
Kosi, Ganga, Gomati and Ghaghara
C
Gandak, Ganga, Gomati and Ghaghara
D
Teesta, Gomati, Ghaghara and Kosi
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
1. The question asks to identify the rivers labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the provided map, which are part of the Ganga river system.
2. The options include major tributaries of the Ganga: Kosi, Gomati, Ghaghara, and Gandak, as well as the Ganga itself and Teesta (a tributary of the Brahmaputra).
3. Based on common map representations and assuming the provided answer (A) is correct based on external answer keys for the 1997 paper, the labels on the map likely pointed to specific rivers, possibly not in a strict geographical sequence. The interpretation would be: 1 = Kosi River, 2 = Gomati River, 3 = Ghaghara River, and 4 = Gandak River. Accurate analysis requires viewing the original map.
