Ans) B
Exp)
• Dolaithabi Barrage Project with its head works on Iril River(also known as Zildung) located at Dolaithabi village in Senapati District of Manipur.
• The project was started in the year 1992 and there was a delay in work due to several reasons. The project was brought under AIBP in the year 2002-03 and so far no irrigation potential is created.
• The Iril River is a river that runs through the eastern suburbs of the city of Imphal in the state of Manipur, India. The name Iril derives from two words Ee and Rei/Ree. The Meitei word Ee, which means blood, and the word Rei/Ree, of Poumai origin, means river.

Which of the following conditions can help in the formation of Karst Topography?
1. Lack of rainfall
2. The carbonate rocks should be very close to the ground surface
3. Limestone should not be porous
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Ans) C
Exp) Landform produced by chemical weathering of carbonate rocks (mainly CaCO3 & MgCO3) by surface and subsurface water are called Karst Topography. The essential condition required for Karst topography:
1. Limestone must be thickly bedded, hard and well jointed.
2. Limestone should not be porous because if the limestone is porous, the water may pass through the rock mass and thus whole rock mass will become porous.
3. Highly folded and fractured limestone.
4. Enough rainfall to dissolve the carbonate rock.
5. The limestone should be above the groundwater table.
6. The carbonate rocks should be very close to the ground surface so that rainwater may easily infiltrate into the beds of limestone and may corrode the rocks to form solution landforms.
7. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves.

Which one of the following rivers is notable for being the largest river in India that does not ever flow to the sea?
Ans) D
Exp)
• The Yamuna is notable for being the largest river in the country that does not ever flow to the sea. It is one of the Ganges River's main tributaries.
• The Yamuna originates from a glacier-specifically the Yamunotri Glacier. The Yamuna then continues to flow for 1,376 km, where it sustains the livelihood of over 50 million people.
