Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) a-4, b-1, c-2, d-3
Explanation
The paper's key matches a-4, b-1, c-2, d-3:
- Narmada → Tawa, its largest tributary, joining it at Hoshangabad (Madhya Pradesh);
- Godavari → Wainganga, which joins it through the Pranhita;
- Kaveri → Bhavani, rising in the Western Ghats and joining it in Tamil Nadu;
- Yamuna → Son: strictly, the Son joins the Ganga (near Patna), not the Yamuna; this pair is the only one left over, so it completes the key.
