Option | Teesta and Jaldhaka | correct |
Option | Jaldhaka and Torsa | incorrect |
Option | Teesta and Raidhak | incorrect |
Solution | Originating from the majestic Zemu glacier in the Himalayas, the Teesta River embarks on its journey. Along its course, it is joined by the Lachin River in Tibet, the Lochang River in Sikkim, and the Great Rangeet River in Darjeeling. Flowing steadfastly towards the south, the Teesta passes through Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar. On the other hand, the Jaldhaka River finds its source in the serene Bidang Lake situated in the Sikkim Himalayas. This river gracefully meanders through the Jalpaiguri district, steadily draining southwards. |
