Which of the following are tributaries of the Brahmaputra?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Karatoya and Atrai
  2. b Dharla and Tista
  3. c Karatoya and Tista
  4. d Dharla and Atrai
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b Dharla and Tista

The Dharla and the Tista are tributaries of the Brahmaputra; the Karatoya and the Atrai are tributaries of the Jamuna.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Karatoya and Atrai: The Karatoya and the Atrai are tributaries of the Jamuna, not the Brahmaputra; the right pair is the Dharla and the Tista.
  • c Karatoya and Tista: The Tista is a tributary of the Brahmaputra but the Karatoya belongs to the Jamuna; the right pair is the Dharla and the Tista.
  • d Dharla and Atrai: The Dharla is a tributary of the Brahmaputra but the Atrai belongs to the Jamuna; the right pair is the Dharla and the Tista.
