The Chambal river is a tributary of which river?
Answer: C
Correct answer: The Yamuna
The Chambal is a tributary of the Yamuna, which is itself the largest tributary of the Ganga. It rises in the Vindhya range of Madhya Pradesh and flows north through Rajasthan before joining the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh. It is one of the cleanest rivers in northern India, chiefly because its valley is sparsely populated and little industrialised. The National Chambal Sanctuary along it protects the gharial, the Ganges river dolphin and the smooth-coated otter. Its badlands - deep ravines cut by gully erosion into soft alluvium - are the classic Indian example of that landform, and the difficulty of policing them gave the region its long association with dacoits. The Yamuna’s other major tributaries are the Betwa, Ken and Sindh, all rising in the peninsular uplands and flowing north, which makes the Yamuna basin unusual in drawing from both the Himalaya and the Deccan.
