Answer:

A Tributary: A tributary is that river which joins the main river, and increases the volume of water. It is generally found  in the upper or the middle course of a river. For example, the Yamuna is the main tributary of the river Ganga.

A Distributary: It is that river which originates from a main river. It is formed near the river’s mouth before it falls into  the sea. It is found in the lower course of the river. For example, the Hooghly is the main distributary of the Ganga.
