Question

Name the river(s) on which the Indira Gandhi canal has been built ______
A) Beas and Sutlej
B) Indus
C) Ganga
D) Yamuna
E) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Canals are waterways channels, also known as artificial waterways, that are used to carry water or to service water transport vehicles. They may also help in irrigation. It can be compared to a man-made version of a river.

Complete answer:
 Beas and Sutlej: The Indira Gandhi Canal begins at Harike, a few kilometres below the confluence of the Satluj and Beas rivers in the Indian state of Punjab, and ends at irrigation facilities in the Thar Desert in Rajasthan's northwestern region. Hence this is the correct answer.

Indus: The Indus is an Asian transboundary and trans-Himalayan river that flows through South and East Asia. The Indira Gandhi canal has not been built on the Indus river. Hence this is not the correct answer.

Ganga: The Ganges River runs from the Himalayas to the south and east, creating a canyon as it leaves the mountain. The Indira Gandhi canal has not been built on the Ganges. Hence this is not the correct answer.

Yamuna: The Yamuna River, also known as the Jumna, is a large river in northern India, flowing mainly through the states of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. The Indira Gandhi canal has not been built on the Yamuna river. Hence this is not the correct answer.

None of these: Since option A) is the correct answer. This option cannot be considered.
The rivers on which the Indira Gandhi canal has been built are Beas and Sutlej.

Therefore, the correct option is A) Beas and Sutlej.

Note: The Indira Gandhi Canal (originally known as the Rajasthan Canal) is India's longest canal. It was formerly known as the Rajasthan Canal, but after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination on November 2, 1984, it was renamed the Indira Gandhi Canal.
