Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025

Correct Answer: a) Jhelum

Explanation:
– Under the Indus Waters Treaty (1960), the three eastern rivers—Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—are allocated to India.
– The three western rivers—Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab—are allocated to Pakistan (with limited uses permitted to India).
– Among the options, Ravi and Sutlej are eastern rivers, while Jhelum is a western river.
– Therefore, Jhelum is not one of the eastern rivers allocated to India, and only one option fits, so (d) is incorrect.
