MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 5: The Rivers of Bangladesh and the Natural Resources
Sujan went boating with friends. The river they travelled on was created at the meeting point of the Surma and the Kushiara in Sylhet district. What is the name of the river?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Karnaphuli
- b Jamuna
- c Brahmaputra
- d Meghna
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d Meghna
The Meghna is formed from the joint stream of the Surma and the Kushiara.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Karnaphuli: The Karnaphuli rises in the Lushai hills in the south-east and has no link with the Surma and Kushiara.
- b Jamuna: The Jamuna is the new stream of the Brahmaputra, formed by the 1787 earthquake; it meets the Padma at Goalanda. The answer here is Meghna.
- c Brahmaputra: The Brahmaputra rises at Manas Sarovar in Tibet and enters Bangladesh through Kurigram after Assam. The answer here is Meghna.
