MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 5: The Rivers of Bangladesh and the Natural Resources
What is the name of river K?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Jamuna
- b Brahmaputra
- c Padma
- d Meghna
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b Brahmaputra
The river that comes a long way into Bangladesh and had a new stream born from a natural disaster (the 1787 earthquake) is the Brahmaputra.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Jamuna: The Jamuna is itself the Brahmaputra's new stream; the one that gave birth to a new stream is the Brahmaputra.
- c 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 Brahmaputra.
- d 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 Brahmaputra.
