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?
A
Only one
Correct answer
B
Only two
C
All three
D
None
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: the Jhelum flows through Wular Lake in Kashmir, one of India's largest freshwater lakes. Statement 2 is wrong: Kolleru Lake lies between the Krishna and Godavari deltas and is fed by seasonal streams such as the Budameru and Tammileru and by delta channels, not directly by the Krishna. Statement 3 is wrong: Kanwar (Kabar) Tal in Begusarai, Bihar, is an oxbow lake formed by the meandering of the Burhi Gandak, not the Gandak. So only one statement is correct.
