Yamuna River is a major tributary of which river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ganga

The Yamuna is one of the most important tributaries of the Ganga river system. It rises in the Himalayan region, flows through northern India, and joins the Ganga at Prayagraj. Because a tributary is a river that flows into a larger river, the Yamuna is correctly matched with the Ganga in option B. The Brahmaputra, Narmada, and Godavari are separate major river systems and are not the main river receiving the Yamuna. The confluence at Prayagraj is a useful geographical memory aid.

The answer follows the drainage pattern of northern India. After travelling through areas including the Delhi region and the plains of Uttar Pradesh, the Yamuna meets the Ganga at Prayagraj. This meeting point is called a confluence, and it demonstrates the Yamuna’s role as a tributary. The question asks for the major river to which it belongs, not for a city through which it passes. Therefore, option B, Ganga, is the precise answer.
