Match List - I (Vedic rivers) with List - II (Present counterparts) and select the correct answer with the help of the code given below :
| List - I (Vedic Rivers) | List - II (Present Counterparts) |
|---|---|
| (a) Vipās | (i) Jhelum |
| (b) Paruṣṇī | (ii) Ravi |
| (c) Vitastā | (iii) Beas |
| (d) Śutudri | (iv) Sutlej |
Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)
Answer: A
The Vedic river Vipas is today's Beas, Parushni is the Ravi, Vitasta is the Jhelum and Sutudri is the Sutlej. That gives (a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv), which is code A. These identifications are the standard ones for the rivers of the Punjab named in the Rigveda. Code B pairs Vipas with Ravi, code C pairs Vipas with Jhelum and code D pairs Parushni with Sutlej, so each puts at least one river against the wrong modern name. The answer is (iii) (ii) (i) (iv).
