    (Ancient Name of Rivers) (Modern Name of Rivers)

    (I) Vipasa           -     Beas

    (II) Sadaneera   -   Gandak

    A Both I & II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The ancient name of the Beas is correctly Vipasa, and Gandak was known as Sadaneera. However, Drishadvati is incorrectly matched with Chenab; Drishadvati is believed to have been a river that dried up, not the modern Chenab.
