UPSC 1997: The river shown on the map is
(a)Irrawaddy
(b)Mekong
(c)Chao Phraya
(d)Salween
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Salween
The map in the paper showed a long north–south river hugging Myanmar’s eastern highlands before entering the Andaman Sea – the characteristic course of the Salween (Thanlwin). The Irrawaddy flows through central Myanmar, the Mekong turns east to the South China Sea, and the Chao Phraya is confined to Thailand; therefore option (d) Salween is correct.
