Answer 1

Answer:

a) Krishna, Central highlands is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

c) The Brahmaputra, Mountain ranges is the river near his village and it originates from the Himalayan Kailash ranges.

Explanation:

Floods caused by the Brahmaputra:

• Assam is vulnerable to natural calamities such as flooding and erosion due to its extensive river network, which has a negative impact on the state's overall development.
• The Brahmaputra and Barak Rivers, which are fed by more than 50 tributaries, create flooding every year during the monsoon season.

Origination of The Brahmaputra river:

• At an elevation of 5300 metres, the river begins in the Himalayan Kailash ranges.
• It enters India through Arunachal Pradesh and then flows through Assam and Bangladesh before joining the Bay of Bengal.
