Which river was known as Vitasta in ancient times?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Jhelum

The correct answer is the Jhelum River. In ancient Indian texts, the Jhelum was known as Vitasta, and in Greek accounts it was called Hydaspes. It rises in the Kashmir region and is one of the major rivers of the Indus river system. The Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej are also important Indus-system rivers, but they have different historical names: Chenab was associated with Asikni, Ravi with Iravati and Sutlej with Shatadru. The governing concept is the identification of ancient names of present-day rivers. Since Vitasta is the historical name specifically connected with the Jhelum, option B is the only correct answer.
