MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 5: The Rivers of Bangladesh and the Natural Resources
Which river is indicated in the passage?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Padma
- b Meghna
- c Jamuna
- d Karnaphuli
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c Jamuna
The new stream created from the Brahmaputra by the 1787 earthquake is known as the Jamuna.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Padma: The Padma is the Ganges in Bangladesh; it rises at the Gangotri Glacier and meets the Jamuna at Goalanda and the Meghna at Chandpur. The answer here is Jamuna.
- b Meghna: The Meghna is formed from the Barak, Surma and Kushiara streams; at Chandpur it meets the Padma and makes a wide estuary. The answer here is Jamuna.
- d Karnaphuli: The Karnaphuli is the main river of the south-east, rising in the Lushai hills; the Chattogram port and the Kaptai hydroelectric station are on it. The answer here is Jamuna.
