Consider the following rivers : I. Kishenganga II. Ganga III. Wainganga IV. Penganga The correct sequence of these rivers when arranged in the north-south direction is

The Kishenganga (Neelum) is a Kashmir valley river and thus the northernmost of the four. The Ganga originates from the Gangotri Glacier in the Garhwal Himalaya and flows across the northern plains, placing it south of Kishenganga [1]. Wainganga and Penganga are tributaries of the Godavari located well to the south of the Ganga; Penganga specifically rises in Nashik district of Maharashtra [2]. Wainganga flows through Madhya Pradesh and joins the Godavari further south, while Penganga is part of the Godavari system in Maharashtra, so the combined north–south ordering is Kishenganga, Ganga, Wainganga, Penganga — option 1.
