Which of the following rivers joins the Yamuna on its left bank?

The correct option is The Hindan.

Explanation

The Yamuna River is the longest and the westernmost tributary of the Ganga. Its tributaries are classified based on their origin and the bank on which they join the main river. The Yamuna receives water from both the Himalayan region and the Peninsular Plateau.

• The Hindan: This river originates in the Saharanpur district from the Upper Siwaliks. It flows between the Ganga and Yamuna rivers and joins the Yamuna on its left bank just outside Delhi. It is a rain-fed river.
• The Chambal: It rises near Mhow in the Malwa Plateau of Madhya Pradesh. It flows northwards through a gorge upwards of Kota in Rajasthan and joins the Yamuna on its right bank.
• The Betwa: It rises in the Vindhyan range and joins the Yamuna on its right bank.
• The Ken: It rises in the Kaimur Range and joins the Yamuna on its right bank.

Key Takeaway: The major tributaries of the Yamuna originating from the Peninsular Plateau (Chambal, Sind, Betwa, Ken) join it on the right bank. The Hindan, Rishi Ganga, Hanuman Ganga, and Sasur Khaderi are examples of tributaries that join on the left bank.
