Q. Consider the following statements:
1.It is the left-bank tributary of the Indus River.
2.It flows entirely within Ladakh, India.
3.Doda and TsrapLingti Chu (Lungnak river) are its two tributaries.
Which one of the following rivers has been described above?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation – The Zanskar River is a left-bank tributary of the Indus River, meaning it joins the Indus River from the left side when facing downstream. Originating northeast of the Great Himalayan range, it drains both the Himalayas and the Zanskar Range in the Zanskar region. It flows entirely within the Ladakh region of India, passing through the Zanskar Valley and joining the Indus River near the town of Nimu. The Doda and TsrapLingti Chu (also known as the Lungnak river) are two of the main tributaries of the Zanskar River. Doda River joins the Zanskar River at Doda village, and Tsarap Lingti Chu is a significant tributary contributing to the flow of the Zanskar River.
