Which of the following rivers does not flow through the state of Punjab?

  1. A
    Sutlej
  2. B
    Ravi
  3. C
    Jhelum
  4. D
    Ganga

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The state name 'Punjab' means the land of five rivers (Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum). Out of these, the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi flow directly through Indian Punjab today, while the catchment areas and historical bounds relate to the others. However, the Ganga flows entirely through northern and eastern India (Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal) and does not touch Punjab.
