Correct Answer - Option 2 : Chandrabhaga

The correct answer is Chandrabhaga.

  • Chenab River
    • The Chenab originates from near the Bara Lacha Pass in the Lahul-Spiti part of the Zaskar Range.
    • Two small streams on opposite sides of the pass, namely Chandra and Bhaga, form its headwaters at an altitude of 4,900 m.
    • The united stream Chandrabhaga flows in the north-west direction through the Pangi valley, parallel to the Pir Panjal range.
    • Near Kistwar, it cuts a deep gorge.
    • It enters the plain area near Akhnur in Jammu and Kashmir.
    • From here it through the plains of Pakistani Punjab to reach Panchnad where it joins the Satluj after receiving the waters of the Jhelum and Ravi rivers.​
  • Hence option 2 is correct.

​​​

  • Beas River
    • The Beas originates near the Rohtang Pass, at a height of 4,062 m above sea level, on the southern end of the Pir Panjal Range, close to the source of the Ravi.
    • It crosses the Dhaola Dhar range and it takes a south-westerly direction and meets the Satluj river at Harike in Punjab.
    • It is a comparatively small river that is only 460 km long but lies entirely within the Indian territory.​
