    Which state has five rivers called the Panjnad? 
    Question

    Which state has five rivers called the Panjnad? 

    A.

    Uttar Pradesh

    B.

    Bihar

    C.

    Punjab

    D.

    Madhya Pradesh

    Correct option is C

    The Panjnad refers to the confluence of five rivers in the state of Punjab. These five rivers are:

    1. Sutlej
    2. Beas
    3. Ravi
    4. Chenab
    5. Jhelum

    The name Panjnad is derived from the combination of two words, ‘Panj’ (meaning five) and ‘Nad’ (meaning river). These rivers are historically significant and are also important for irrigation in the region.

    Additional Information:

    • The Panjnad River flows into the Indus River, and its waters play a vital role in the agrarian economy of Punjab.
    • Punjab (meaning "Land of Five Rivers") is so named because of these rivers, which were historically part of the region's rich and fertile land.

    Other Options:

    • Uttar Pradesh : Uttar Pradesh is home to important rivers like the Ganga, Yamuna, and Ganges, but not the Panjnad.
    • Bihar : Bihar has the Ganga as its main river but does not have the Panjnad.
    • Madhya Pradesh : Madhya Pradesh is known for the Narmada, Tapti, and Mahi rivers but does not have the Panjnad.
