Which river has the most branches?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Karnaphuli
  2. b Brahmaputra
  3. c Padma
  4. d Jamuna
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c Padma

The lower Ganges, the Padma, has numerous branches; the book names eleven of them.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Karnaphuli: The Karnaphuli has only a few tributaries, far fewer than the Padma's branches.
  • b Brahmaputra: The book gives the Brahmaputra two tributaries and one new stream, the Jamuna, far fewer than the Padma's branches.
  • d Jamuna: The book names one branch of the Jamuna, the Dhaleshwari; the Padma has many more.
