Q11
Which of the following river is known as India's River of Sorrow?
A.
Hooghly
B.
Damodar
C.
Ghaghara
D.
Kosi
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Option A: Hooghly - The Hooghly is an important river, but it's not usually known as a river of sorrow on a national scale. Option B: Damodar - The Damodar River was previously known for its devastating floods.
Option C: Ghaghara - The Ghaghara river also causes floods, but the Kosi river does so more frequently and severely.
Option D: Kosi - The Kosi River is very well-known as the "River of Sorrow" because it changes its course often, causing major floods and destruction in Bihar.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Kosi. Because the Kosi River has been historically notorious for causing devastating floods, it's earned the unfortunate title of "India's River of Sorrow."
