Question

Match the National Waterway with its river/water body:

Column I (NW Number): (i) N.W. No. 1, (ii) N.W. No. 2, (iii) N.W. No. 3, (iv) N.W. No. 5
Column II (River/Region): (1) Brahmani and Mahanadi delta channels, (2) West-Coast Canal in Kerala, (3) Ganga (Prayagraj–Haldia), (4) Brahmaputra (Sadiya–Dhubri)

(a) i–3, ii–4, iii–2, iv–1
(b) i–4, ii–3, iii–1, iv–2
(c) i–2, ii–1, iii–4, iv–3
(d) i–3, ii–2, iii–4, iv–1

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer **(a) i–3, ii–4, iii–2, iv–1** N.W. No.1 – Ganga (Prayagraj–Haldia); N.W. No.2 – Brahmaputra (Sadiya–Dhubri); N.W. No.3 – West-Coast Canal, Kerala; N.W. No.5 – Brahmani and Mahanadi delta channels. ## Explanation The textbook explicitly lists the five National Waterways with their corresponding rivers/regions. Students must memorise the NW numbers carefully — a common error is swapping NW1 and NW2 (Ganga vs Brahmaputra). Option (a) is the only one that correctly pairs all four.
