Which river is the largest among Ravi, Jhelum, Chenab, and Sutlej?

  • (a) Ravi
  • (b) Chenab
  • (c) Sutlej
  • (d) Jhelum
  • The Chenab justifies its position as the largest of the four mainly because of the volume of water it carries. Although the Sutlej is the longest of the four rivers, extending over 1,450 kilometers, the Chenab justifies its position as the largest of the Indus tributaries because it discharges the largest volume of water. The Chenab River receives the discharge of the Jhelum River and the Ravi River and then joins the Sutlej River, thus making it the heaviest side stream.
  • Sutlej: ~1,450 km
  • Chenab: ~960-974 km
  • Jhelum: ~724-725 km
  • Ravi: ~720-725 km
