Question

Consider the following statements:
1. Jhelum River passes through Wular Lake.
2. Krishna River directly feeds Kolleru Lake.
3. Meandering of Gandak River formed Kanwar Lake.

How many of the statements given above are correct?

AOnly one
BOnly two
CAll three
DNone
Correct Answer — A

Explanation

Only the Jhelum-Wular Lake link is correct. Kolleru Lake is fed directly by seasonal streams (only connected to the Krishna via drainage channels, not fed directly), and Kanwar Lake was formed by the meandering of the Burhi Gandak, a distinct tributary river, not the main Gandak.
