Why is it wrong to confuse Prayagraj with Devprayag?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Prayagraj is the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna, whereas Devprayag is the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda

Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh is known for the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna; traditionally, the invisible Saraswati is also believed to join there. In contrast, the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet at Devprayag in Uttarakhand, and the river is called the Ganga after this confluence. Option B incorrectly reverses the two confluences. Exam tip: remember Devprayag as the point from which the river is known as the Ganga.
