2.It is a perennial tributary of the Yamuna River.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation: 1 only
Statement 1 is correct: The Sahibi (Sabi) River originates in the Aravalli Hills near Manoharpur in Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan. It flows through Rajasthan and Haryana, enters Delhi, and ultimately merges with the Najafgarh Drain, which later joins the Yamuna River.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The Sahibi is an ephemeral (seasonal) river, not a perennial one. It carries water mainly during the monsoon and is not navigable. Much of its natural course has been modified due to urbanisation and drainage works in the Delhi-NCR region.
