UPSC CAPF – 2019
Without a map showing the specific locations 1, 2, 3, and 4, we assume they represent relative positions, likely from North to South, as these are major South Indian rivers. The approximate North-to-South order of these rivers is Krishna (mostly north), Penner (south of Krishna), Cauvery (south of Penner and Krishna), and Vaigai (mostly south in Tamil Nadu).
Assuming locations 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent this North-to-South sequence:
Location 1: Krishna (D)
Location 2: Penner (A)
Location 3: Cauvery (C)
Location 4: Vaigai (B)
Matching the rivers from List I with the locations from List II based on this assumption:
A. Penner matches location 2 (A-2).
B. Vaigai matches location 4 (B-4).
C. Cauvery matches location 3 (C-3).
D. Krishna matches location 1 (D-1).
This pairing corresponds to option A: A-2, B-4, C-3, D-1.
– The relative geographical positions of the rivers from North to South are Krishna, Penner, Cauvery, Vaigai.
– Assuming the locations 1, 2, 3, 4 follow this North-to-South order allows for matching.
The Krishna River flows through Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. The Penner River flows through Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The Cauvery River flows through Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The Vaigai River flows through Tamil Nadu. Their basins are located in distinct regions of South India, primarily in the Deccan Plateau and the Eastern Ghats.
