Order of the tributaries of river Ganga from east to west:
The correct order of the tributaries of river Ganga from east to west is option 'B', which is 2-1-3-4.
Explanation:
To determine the correct order of the tributaries, let's analyze the location and direction of each tributary:
1. Kosi: The Kosi river is located in the eastern region of the Ganga basin. It originates in the Mahabharat Range in Nepal and flows through Bihar before joining the Ganga near Bhagalpur. Therefore, Kosi is the easternmost tributary among the given options.
2. Gandak: The Gandak river also originates in Nepal and flows through Bihar before joining the Ganga near Patna. It is located to the west of the Kosi river. Hence, Gandak is the second tributary from east to west.
3. Ghaghara: The Ghaghara river is a major tributary of the Ganga and is located to the west of the Gandak river. It originates in the Himalayas and flows through Uttar Pradesh before joining the Ganga near Varanasi. Therefore, Ghaghara is the third tributary from east to west.
4. Gomti: The Gomti river is located in Uttar Pradesh and flows through Lucknow before joining the Ganga near Varanasi. It is the westernmost tributary among the given options. Hence, Gomti is the fourth tributary from east to west.
Therefore, the correct order of the tributaries of river Ganga from east to west is 2-1-3-4, which corresponds to option 'B'.
