Question map
Consider the following pairs: National Park River flowing through the Park 1. Corbett National Park : Ganga 2. Kazinranga National Park : Manas 3. Silent Valley National Park : Kaveri Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
Explanation
None of the pairs are correctly matched. Pair 1 is incorrect because the Ramganga River, a tributary of the Ganga, is the primary river flowing through Corbett National Park, not the Ganga itself [2]. Pair 2 is incorrect as Kaziranga National Park is primarily associated with the Brahmaputra River and its local channels like Diphlu and Mora Dhansiri. The Manas River flows through Manas National Park, which is a separate protected area. Pair 3 is incorrect because Silent Valley National Park is located in the Nilgiri Hills of Kerala and is drained by the Kunthipuzha River, a tributary of the Bharathapuzha. While the Kaveri River drains parts of the Nilgiris, it does not flow through Silent Valley. Therefore, all three pairs are incorrectly matched.
