Which is the source of the Son river?
- a.Maikal hills
- b.Amarkantak hills
- c.Kaimur hills
- d.Rajmahal hills
Answer: (B) Amarkantak hills
The Son rises near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh, close to the source of the Narmada, and flows north-east to join the Ganga near Patna. Amarkantak is part of the wider Maikal range, but the Amarkantak hills name the exact source; the Kaimur hills only flank the Son valley and the Rajmahal hills lie in Jharkhand.
