Which of the following are the right bank tributaries to Ganga?
  1. a.Yamuna, Chambal and Son
  2. b.Yamuna, Son and Damodar
  3. c.Yamuna, Gandak and Son
  4. d.Yamuna, Chambal and Damodar

Answer: (B) Yamuna, Son and Damodar

The major right-bank tributaries of the Ganga include the Yamuna, Son, Punpun, and Damodar. The Chambal is a right-bank tributary of the Yamuna (not directly of the Ganga). Gandak joins the Ganga from the left (north) bank. Option B correctly lists Yamuna, Son, and Damodar as right-bank tributaries.
