Which is a branch of the Dhaleshwari?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Tista
  2. b Gomati
  3. c Buriganga
  4. d Ichamati
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c Buriganga

The Buriganga is a branch of the Dhaleshwari.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Tista: The Tista rises in hilly Sikkim and enters Bangladesh through Dimla; a flood in 1787 changed its course and it is a tributary of the Brahmaputra. The answer here is Buriganga.
  • b Gomati: The Gomati is a branch of the Meghna; Cumilla stands on its bank. The answer here is Buriganga.
  • d Ichamati: The Ichamati is a branch of the lower Ganges (the Padma). The answer here is Buriganga.
