Key Points
- The Godavari originates from the Trimbak Plateau, but Nagarjuna Sagar is a reservoir on the Krishna River, not the Godavari. The correct reservoir for the Godavari is Sriram Sagar Dam. Hence, Row 1 is incorrect.
- The Krishna originates from Mahabaleshwar, and Srisailam is one of its major reservoirs. Hence, Row 2 is correct.
- The Narmada originates from Amarkantak, and Indira Sagar is one of its major reservoirs. Hence, Row 3 is correct.
- The Sutlej originates from Rakshastal Lake near Mount Kailash, not Nanda Devi. Gobind Sagar is a reservoir on the Sutlej River, but the origin peak is incorrect. Hence, Row 4 is incorrect.
