Question

Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini are tributaries of which one of the following rivers?
A. Mahanadi
B. Godavari
C. Cauvery
D. Krishna

Answer 1

Hint: The river rises in southwest Karnataka on the Brahmagiri Hill of the Western Ghats. It flows through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in a southeasterly direction, and the Eastern Ghats descend in a sequence of great falls. The river splits into a large number of distributors that form a big delta called the "garden of southern India" before it empties into the Bay of Bengal south of Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.

Complete Answer:
Option A. Mahanadi: The Mahanadi River is India's third largest peninsular river, and Odisha State's largest river. The word mahanadi is a composition of two Sanskrit words, maha, which mean 'great' and nadi and which mean 'river.' The Seonath River, the Hasdeo River, the Mand River, the Ib River, the Jonking River, the Tel River, are major tributaries of the Mahanadi River. So, We know, Tributaries of the Mahanadi River are different from Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini. Hence this option is incorrect.

Option B. Godavari: The River of Godavari is the largest river in Peninsular India. Due to its age, size and length, it is referred to as the Dakshin Ganga or Vridha Ganga (old Ganga). In the delta zone, it is navigable. The Indravati River, the Pranhita River, the Penganga River, the Purna River, the Duhna River, the Manjra River, the Wardha River, the Wainganga River, the Sabari River are the major tributaries of the Godavari River. So, We know, Tributaries of the Godavari River are different from Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini. Hence this option is incorrect.

Option C. Cauvery: Kaveri is an Indian river which crosses the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and it is also referred to as Cauvery. Kaveri is one of the seven holy rivers of India as well. All of the Cauvery tributaries are Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini. Cauvery is 1.341 m high from the Brahmagiri hills of the district of Coorg and drains the plateau of Mysore until it flows into the plain. So, we know, Tributaries of the Cauvery River are the same as Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini. Hence this option is correct.

Option D. Krishna: The Krishna River is the second largest river in Peninsular India, which flows east. The Krishna River is the tributary of the river: Tungabhadra, Bhima, the River Koyna, the River Verne, and the Panchganga River, as well as the River Ghataprabha, the River Malaprabha, and the River Dudhganga and Musi. So, we know, Tributaries of the Krishna River are different from Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini. Hence this option is incorrect. Therefore, The tributaries of the Rivers of Cauvery are Amravati, Bhavani, Hemavati and Kabini.

Hence, Option C. Cauvery is the correct answer.

Note: One of the peninsula's main rivers is the Cauvery River. The Harangi, the Hemavati, the Shimsha and the Arkavati are the main tributaries that come from the left, while the Lakshmana Tirtha, the Kabbani, the Suvarnavati, the Bhavani, the Noyil and the Amaravati come from the right. An ancient dam is Kallanai. It is constructed across the Kaveri River, flowing from the Tiruchirappalli district to the Thanjavur district (in running water).
