In which place did Ganges enter West Bengal?

1. Near Rajmahal
2. Near Uttar Dinajpur
3. Near Hooghly
4. Near New Jalpaiguri

Answer: Near Rajmahal

Explanation: As the Ganges enters West Bengal near Rajmahal, it takes a south-easterly course. North of Dhulian in the Murshidabad district, it bifurcates into two branches. One branch continues its journey into Bangladesh as the Padma or Pôdda, while the other branch flows through West Bengal as the Bhagirathi and Hooghly River, heading in a southerly direction. The Bhagirathi-Hooghly River serves as the primary waterway in West Bengal.
