A.True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: The Ganges flows within Indian borders for about 2,525 km before flowing into Bangladesh. In Hindu culture and mythology, the Bhagirathi is considered to be the source, although the Alaknanda is longer, and hydrologically, the source stream.

Complete answer:
In the world, the Ganga River Basin is the largest basin, with Ganga river considered as the main stem of the basin. The important metamorphic parameter is the length of the main trunk in a river basin. The variable length of the river motivated the study of its exact length, and it also to test whether geomorphically it is the longest river in the basin.

The river Ganga flows through the states of Bihar, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal, and then it enters Bangladesh. The cities which are located at the banks of the Ganges River are Rishikesh, Patna, Kanpur, Haridwar, Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, and Bhagalpur. The Ganges covers the total length of 2,525 kilometers ( 1569 miles ) before it charges in the Bay of Bengal.
According to the results, the maximum river length is 2758 km when the source is considered as the headstream of the tons river.

The Ganges is one of the longest rivers originating in India; although the river Indus is longer, it does not flow within India.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)
