Consider the following rivers : 1. Vamsadhara 2. Indravati 3. Pranahita 4. Pennar Which of the above are tributaries of Godavari?

Gives a detailed list of major Godavari tributaries (Indravati, Sabari, Penganga, Pranhita, Purna, Wainganga, Manjra, etc.).

A student can check whether Vamsadhara appears among these named tributaries; if not, that is a clue it may not be a Godavari tributary and warrants checking its independent course on a map.

Table lists Godavari’s main tributaries explicitly, providing a concise roster to compare against.

Compare this roster with a list/map of rivers in the relevant region to see if Vamsadhara is included or omitted.

Describes Godavari basin extent (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh) and names several tributaries, giving geographic scope for where tributaries belong.

Locate Vamsadhara on a political or drainage map of Odisha/Andhra to see if its basin lies inside the Godavari basin or drains separately to the Bay of Bengal.

States the general pattern that many peninsular rivers (including Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri) descend from the Western Ghats and flow east into the Bay of Bengal.

Use this pattern plus the Vamsadhara’s source and flow direction (from a map) to judge whether it follows an independent eastward course to the sea or joins a larger system like the Godavari.

Notes major tributaries (Pranhita, Manjra) and describes Godavari’s lower reaches and delta behaviour, pointing to where tributaries typically join.

A student could check whether Vamsadhara’s confluence (if any) is located in these lower-reach/delta areas or whether it reaches the coast separately.
