Which group of rivers of the Indus system is linked with the name Punjab?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Five rivers

The direct answer is A: five rivers. The word Punjab is commonly understood from two words: panj, meaning five, and ab, meaning water or river. Thus, Punjab means the land of five rivers. In the Indus river system, the five traditionally associated rivers are Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. Step by step: first identify the clue in the name Punjab; then count the rivers connected with the region; the count is five. Option A is correct because it gives this exact number. Option B, two rivers, is wrong because the traditional group contains five, not two. Option C, three lakes, is wrong because the question asks about rivers, not lakes. Option D, four waterfalls, is wrong because waterfalls are not the geographical feature connected with the name Punjab. Remember: Punjab means ‘land of five rivers’; the five names are Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej.
