Which is the longest river?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Matamuhuri
  2. b Sangu
  3. c Tista
  4. d Karnaphuli
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d Karnaphuli

The Karnaphuli is 320 km long; the Sangu is 294, the Tista 177 and the Matamuhuri about 120 km.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Matamuhuri: The Matamuhuri is about 120 km; the Karnaphuli, at 320 km, is much longer.
  • b Sangu: The Sangu is 294 km long, but the Karnaphuli at 320 km is longer.
  • c Tista: The Tista is 177 km; the Karnaphuli, at 320 km, is much longer.
