In which situation should Khadar be chosen instead of Bhangar?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the clue is new alluvium and flood plain

Direct answer: Option A. Khadar is the newer alluvium deposited by rivers, especially on flood plains or low areas that may receive fresh deposits during floods. Bhangar is older alluvium lying above the active floodplain and commonly contains kankar, or calcareous concretions. Therefore, when the clue says “new alluvium” and “flood plain,” choose Khadar. Option A is correct. Option B describes Bhangar, so it must not be selected when Khadar is asked for. Option C describes Bhabar, the coarse, pebbly and porous belt near the Shiwalik foothills. Option D describes the wet, marshy Terai belt, where underground water re-emerges south of Bhabar. The key contrast is age and flood contact: Khadar is newer and regularly renewed; Bhangar is older and less frequently flooded. Exam cue: “Khadar = current/new river deposit; Bhangar = old, kankar-bearing deposit.”
