Q. Consider the following statements with reference to the Poonch River:
1.The Poonch River originates in the Pir Panjal Range.
2.It joins the Jhelum River.
3.The river flows entirely within the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and does not enter Pakistan-administered territory.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation: 1 and 2
Statement 1 and 2 are correct: The Poonch River rises in the Pir Panjal Range and flows through the Poonch region before joining the Jhelum River, making it part of the Indus River system.
Statement 3 is incorrect: After flowing through parts of Jammu and Kashmir, the river crosses into Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where it eventually joins the Jhelum River. Hence, it does not remain entirely within India.
