@babu_bisleri if you look at the question it has specifically been mentioned from amongst the options three river pour into one....so irrespective of which all river pour into which river, we have to limit ourselves to the one given in the options


the question must have  been  directly taken from a source ...majid hussain, khullar and one patna university ppt along with pmfias verbatium quote that satluj- "During its onward journey  receives the collective drainage of the Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum rivers. It joins the Indus a few kilometres above Mithankot."

ps :debating on answers is a futile exercise i would suggest everyone to assume all doubtful answers as wrong while calculating scores.. imo 95+ is a safe score this year

I hope this is true

I think Conceptual geography Question took a back seat and sports filled that vacuum

Neither Geography nor Sports is my strong area ,so net zero gain

Yes, this seems true.

This year, the 40k - 50k students, who we all refer to as serious candidates, are all getting marks in the range of 80-100. And no one knows for sure, whether it's 80 or 100. But, only 4k will go through (UR). Mains jitna subjective ban gaya hai Prelims..

If results are not declared soon then a time will come when people will categorise all 100 questions as doubtful. 

Oh my sweet summer child! We are way past 100, we are targeting 180 now!

Such a show-off! You will regret wasting this time a few days from now when results will be out. If you are really getting 86 after considering all the above wrong, then you are 100% through.

@RonWeasley show-off, really??? have you developed the "INTENTION SCALE" to measure the meaning or motive of what people say?? wow.. such a mature comment from you..thanks mate...seems some one is really annoyed at others questions :)


I posted it in a light mood. I had no intention to hurt you. Chill mate.

The mahaul is very different this time. People scoring in the range of 80s or around 85 are trying to be optimistic and getting their hopes up with any disputed question going in their favour. On the other hand, people scoring above 95 or even 100 are not able to focus on Mains prep because they are too unsure of getting through. Makes you wonder if it really was an MCQ based test or a subjective test!
