Consider the following information: Waterfall — Region — River
- Dhuandhar — Malwa — Narmada
- Hundru — Chota Nagpur — Subarnarekha
- Gersoppa — Western Ghats — Netravati
In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?
Explanation
The correct matching from the provided information is only for the Dhuandhar waterfall, which is indeed located in the Malwa region and is fed by the Narmada River. The Hundru waterfall, located in the Chota Nagpur plateau, is associated with the Subarnarekha River, but this connection is misleading, as the Subarnarekha primarily flows south, away from the waterfall's location. The Gersoppa waterfall, located in the Western Ghats, is actually associated with the Sharavathi River, not the Netravati, further invalidating that row. Such details are crucial for the UPSC Prelims GS Paper I, which tests geographical knowledge and the proper association of natural features with their respective regions and rivers.
