Which of the following state is not a part of Ganga basin?

Correct option is B

The Correct Answer is (B)Punjab

Explanation:

Punjab is not part of the Ganga River Basin. While Punjab is located in the northern part of India, it falls within the Indus River Basin. The primary rivers in Punjab, such as the Ravi, Chenab, and Beas, flow into the Indus River, which ultimately drains into the Arabian Sea, not the Ganga.

On the other hand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh are part of the Ganga Basin.

• Himachal Pradesh: Part of the Ganga Basin, with the Yamuna River originating from the state.

• Rajasthan: Also part of the Ganga Basin, with the Chambal River flowing through it as a tributary to the Yamuna.

• Madhya Pradesh: Part of the Ganga Basin with rivers like the Betwa and Ken contributing to the Yamuna and the Ganga system.

Information Booster:

1. Punjab's rivers, including the Beas, Ravi, and Chenab, are all tributaries of the Indus River, not the Ganga.

2. The Indus Basin covers large parts of Punjab, and it is separated from the Ganga Basin.

3. While Punjab is located close to the Ganga Basin, its major river system does not drain into the Ganga but into the Arabian Sea via the Indus River.
