The correct answer is (c) Vitasta.
The Jhelum is a river in northern India and Pakistan. It is one of the five rivers of Punjab, and is the longest of the five. The Jhelum originates in the Pir Panjal Range in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, and flows through the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Azad Kashmir before joining the Chenab River to form the Ravi River. The Jhelum is a major source of irrigation and drinking water for both India and Pakistan.
The ancient name of the Jhelum is Vitasta. The name Vitasta is derived from the Sanskrit word “vitas”, which means “to shine”. The name Vitasta is first mentioned in the Rig Veda, one of the oldest Hindu scriptures. The Rig Veda describes the Vitasta as a beautiful river that flows through the land of the Punjab.
The name Vitasta was later changed to Jhelum by the Persians. The name Jhelum is derived from the Persian word “gil”, which means “river”. The name Jhelum is first mentioned in the works of the Greek historian Herodotus. Herodotus describes the Jhelum as a large river that flows through the land of the Punjab.
The name Jhelum has been used ever since. The name Jhelum is used in both India and Pakistan. The name Jhelum is also used in the English language.
