UPSC NDA-1 – 2021
The correct answer is C) River Mahananda.
The Brahmaputra River has numerous tributaries flowing from the Himalayas and the hills of the Northeast. River Manas, River Kameng (also known as Jiabharali), and River Subansiri are all major left-bank or right-bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra in India and Bhutan. The River Mahananda originates in the Darjeeling hills and flows south through West Bengal and Bihar before joining the River Ganges (Padma) in Bangladesh. It is a tributary of the Ganges system, not the Brahmaputra system.
