With reference to Peninsular rivers, consider the following statements...
Explanation:
The given statements are:
1. Sardar Sarovar Dam is built on Mahanadi River.
2. Krishna River rises from Trimbak Plateau of North Sahyadri.
3. Manjira is the left bank tributary of Godavari.
Now let's analyze each statement and check its correctness.
Statement 1: Sardar Sarovar Dam is built on Mahanadi River.
The statement is incorrect. The Sardar Sarovar Dam is not built on the Mahanadi River. It is built on the Narmada River in the state of Gujarat. The Sardar Sarovar Dam is one of the largest dams in India and is a multipurpose project that provides water for irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation.
Statement 2: Krishna River rises from Trimbak Plateau of North Sahyadri.
The statement is correct. The Krishna River does rise from the Trimbak Plateau of the North Sahyadri range in the state of Maharashtra. It is one of the longest rivers in India, flowing through the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.
Statement 3: Manjira is the left bank tributary of Godavari.
The statement is incorrect. Manjira is not a left bank tributary of the Godavari River. It is a tributary of the Godavari River, but it joins the Godavari on its right bank. The Manjira River originates in Maharashtra and flows through the states of Maharashtra, Telangana, and Karnataka before joining the Godavari River.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) None of the above, as none of the statements is completely correct.
