Which two streams meet at Devprayag after which the river is called Ganga?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Bhagirathi and Alaknanda

The direct answer is A, Bhagirathi and Alaknanda. At Devprayag in Uttarakhand, the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet. After this confluence, the combined river is called the Ganga. Step by step: Bhagirathi is the stream traditionally associated with Gangotri and the Ganga’s source tradition; Alaknanda is another major Himalayan river; they meet at Devprayag; after their meeting, the name Ganga is used. Option A is correct because it identifies both streams at the important confluence. Option B is wrong: Yamuna and Chambal meet in the Yamuna system, not at Devprayag. Option C is wrong: Ghaghara and Kosi are separate tributaries of the Ganga and do not create the Ganga’s name at Devprayag. Option D is wrong: Ravi and Beas belong to the Indus river system and meet in the Punjab-Himachal region, not at Devprayag. Do not confuse Gangotri, the source tradition of Bhagirathi, with Devprayag, where the name Ganga is applied. Memory cue: “Bhagirathi + Alaknanda at Devprayag = Ganga.”
