The North flowing rivers of West Bengal are
- a.Tista, Jaldhaka, Raidhak
- b.Ganga, Brahmaputra
- c.Tista, Ganga
- d.Damodar, Ganga
Answer: (A) Tista, Jaldhaka, Raidhak
The Tista, Jaldhaka, and Raidhak are rivers that originate in the Himalayas and flow southward through North Bengal — but as tributaries of the Brahmaputra they ultimately drain northward in their origin, flowing through the northern districts (Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar). They are the major north Bengal rivers draining from the Himalayan foothills.
