Where does the Meghna originate?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Meghalaya
  2. b Sikkim
  3. c Naga-Manipur
  4. d West Bengal
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c Naga-Manipur

The Barak of Assam rises in the Naga-Manipur region and forms the Meghna's stream.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Meghalaya: Meghalaya is not given as the Meghna's source; the book says Naga-Manipur.
  • b Sikkim: The hills of Sikkim are the source of the Tista. The answer here is Naga-Manipur.
  • d West Bengal: West Bengal is not the Meghna's source; it is the Barak of Naga-Manipur.
