Which of the following ranges acts as a water divide between river Chenab, Beas and Ravi?

Shiwalik range
Dhauladhar range
Pir Panjal range
Zanskar range

The correct answer is C. Pir Panjal range.

The Pir Panjal range is a mountain range in the Himalayas that runs along the border between India and Pakistan. It is the main water divide between the Indus River basin to the west and the Chenab, Beas, and Ravi river basins to the east. The range is about 500 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide. The highest peak in the Pir Panjal range is Takht-e-Sulaiman, which is 4,752 meters (15,587 feet) tall.

The Shiwalik range is a mountain range in the Himalayas that runs along the foothills of the Pir Panjal range. It is a low-lying range that is not a major water divide. The Dhauladhar range is a mountain range in the Himalayas that runs parallel to the Pir Panjal range to the north. It is a higher and more rugged range than the Pir Panjal range. The Zanskar range is a mountain range in the Himalayas that runs along the border between India and China. It is a high and remote range that is not a major water divide.
