Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The matching of river basins to towns in Uttarakhand is as follows: The Bhagirathi river rises in the Gangotri glacier in the Uttarkashi district, and the town of Uttarkashi is situated on its banks. The Alaknanda river flows through the Garhwal region, and its basin includes the Pauri Garhwal district; specifically, the town of Pauri is associated with the Alaknanda/Nayar drainage area. The Nayar river is a significant tributary within the Ganga system, and Lansdowne is located within the Lansdowne Forest Division, which falls under the Nayar river catchment area in the Pauri district [3]. Finally, the Ganga river (after the confluence at Devprayag) flows near Narendra Nagar, which is a prominent town in the Tehri Garhwal district overlooking the river valley [3]. Thus, the correct sequence is A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2.
