Match List-I (River) with List-II (Outflow) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists
(River) | (Outflow)
A. Amu Darya | 1. Aral Sea
B. D nieper | 2. Bering Sea
C. Ural | 3. Black Sea
D. Yukon | 4. Caspian Sea
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 (A-1, B-3, C-4, D-2). This matching accurately reflects the geographical drainage patterns of major global rivers:
- Amu Darya (A-1): This major Central Asian river flows through Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, traditionally draining into the Aral Sea.
- Dnieper (B-3): One of the longest rivers in Europe, it traverses Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine before emptying its waters into the Black Sea.
- Ural (C-4): Flowing through Russia and Kazakhstan, the Ural River acts as a natural boundary between Europe and Asia, ultimately discharging into the Caspian Sea.
- Yukon (D-2): Located in North America, this river flows through Canada and Alaska, finally outflowing into the Bering Sea.
Other options are incorrect because they mismatch these specific drainage basins. Understanding these outflows is crucial for UPSC as they define major international water systems and regional geography.
