Q83 (CDS-I/2006) Geography › Indian Physical Geography › Peninsular river systems Answer Verified

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The pair 'Elephant Falls - Godavari river' is incorrectly matched. Elephant Falls is located in the East Khasi Hills district near Shillong, Meghalaya, and is not associated with the Godavari river [c1]. It is a multi-tiered waterfall named after an elephant-like rock at its base. In contrast, the other pairs are correct: Chitrakote Falls, often called the 'Niagara of India' due to its width, is located on the Indravati River in Chhattisgarh [t1, t4, t5]. Jog Falls, also known as Gersoppa Falls, is situated on the Sharavathi River in Karnataka and is one of India's highest untiered waterfalls [c2, c3, t3]. Tirathgarh Falls is located on the Kanger River (a tributary of the Sabari River) within the Kanger Valley National Park in Chhattisgarh [c1, t6].
