Accepted Answer

## Model Answer The Indus, the Ganga, and the Brahmaputra are the three Himalayan river systems responsible for depositing alluvial soil in the northern plains. (Any two: **Indus** and **Ganga**, or **Ganga** and **Brahmaputra**.) Source: *Resources and Development*, Classification of Soils – Alluvial Soils --- ## Explanation The question asks for **any two** out of the three rivers named in the textbook. Write exactly two names — no elaboration needed for 1 mark. Avoid writing "Himalayan rivers" without naming them; examiners expect specific names.
