At Devprayag, after the confluence of which two streams is the main river known as Ganga?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Alaknanda and Bhagirathi

In a river system, the name of a major river may be applied after important streams meet. At Devprayag in Uttarakhand, the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi join, and the combined downstream river is traditionally known as the Ganga. The Bhagirathi is commonly regarded as the principal source stream, while the Alaknanda is another major Himalayan headstream. Their confluence is therefore a key geographical point in the origin of the Ganga’s main course. Option A is correct. The Mandakini and Pindar are important tributaries associated with the Alaknanda system, but they do not create the Ganga name at Devprayag. The Yamuna and Tons form a separate river system, while the Son and Gandak join the Ganga farther downstream. Thus only Alaknanda and Bhagirathi fit the stated location and process.
