Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
Bandarpunch Glacier feeds the headwaters of the Yamuna; Bara Shigri feeds the Chandra which joins the Bhaga to form the Chenab; Siachen is the source of the Nubra (hence pair 4 in the official English version). Milam actually feeds the Gori Ganga, not the Mandakini, and Zemu feeds the Teesta, not the Manas. Thus pairs 1, 2 and 4 only are correct ⇒ option (a).
