Question

A. Madhya pradesh
B. Bihar
C. West bengal
D. Uttar pradesh.

Answer 1

Hint: The basin of the Ganges is bounded by the Himalayas to the north, the Aravalli to the west, the Vindhyas and Chota Nagpur plateaus to the south, and the plateaus to the east.
With substantial (1,400 mm (55.1 in)) monsoon rains feeding a large number of streams and rivers, this state in north-central India is subtropical. This state has five main rivers except ganga.

Complete answer:
The Ganga is India's largest river. The river measures 2525 km in length.
Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal flow through the Ganga.
It doesn't flow through Madhya pradesh.
In the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas, the Ganga rises at an altitude of approximately 7,010 m in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The river at its source is called Bhagirathi. It descends down the valley up to Devprayag, where it is named Ganga after joining another Alaknanda hill stream.
Ganga flows through a range of states with an area of 8,61,452 sq.km. Which is almost 26 percent of the country's total geographical area.
The Ganges River is a 1569-mile-long river flowing into the Bay of Bengal from India and Bangladesh.
Studies have shown that the Ganges River can break down organic waste more rapidly than any other river in the world, up to 25 times faster.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note: The river Betwa is known as the Madhya Pradesh Ganga. It originates from the Vindhyan region of the M.P. district of Hoshangabad and flows along the Malwa to Orchha and later meets Yamuna near Uttar Pradesh's Hamirpur district.
