Which river does not belong to the Indus system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cauvery

The direct answer is option D, Cauvery. The Indus drainage system includes the Indus and its major tributaries such as Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej. These rivers mainly drain the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent and ultimately belong to the Indus system. Jhelum in option A is one of the important tributaries of the Indus. Chenab in option B is also an Indus tributary, formed by the meeting of the Chandra and Bhaga rivers. Ravi in option C is another important tributary of the Indus. Cauvery in option D is different: it is a peninsular river of southern India, rises in Karnataka, flows generally eastward, and enters the Bay of Bengal. Therefore it does not belong to the Indus system. The question asks which river does not belong, so select the one from another drainage system. Memory cue: Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej are Indus-system names; Cauvery is a southern peninsular river.
