Which of the following rivers is an example of a superimposed drainage system in India, cutting directly across the Greater Himalayas?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Sutlej River is classified as an antecedent and superimposed drainage system because it existed before the rapid uplift of the Himalayas and cut deep gorges right across the mountain ranges. Rivers like Narmada and Godavari follow peninsular tectonic troughs or rift valleys rather than cutting through major fold mountain ranges.
