Mechi river is a tributary of which river?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c) Mahananda

Explanation:

• The Mechi River is a tributary of the Mahananda River.

• It originates in the Himalayan foothills in Nepal and flows into India, joining the Mahananda River in the state of West Bengal.

• The Mahananda River itself is a significant tributary of the Ganga River.

Information Booster:

• The Mahananda River flows through West Bengal and Bihar before merging with the Ganga.

• The Mechi River flows through parts of Nepal and India, contributing to the water flow of the Mahananda River.

• The Mechi and Mahananda rivers form an important part of the Brahmaputra Basin before ultimately contributing to the Ganga River system.

• The Ganga River, one of the most significant rivers of India, receives numerous tributaries, including the Mahananda, but the Mechi itself does not directly feed into the Ganga.

Additional Information:

• Hooghly:  A major tributary of the Ganga River.

• Brahmaputra:  Mechi does not flow into the Brahmaputra River, which originates in Tibet and flows through Assam and Bangladesh.

• Ganga:  While the Mahananda ultimately flows into the Ganga, the Mechi does not directly join the Ganga.
