Which of the following major tributaries of the Godavari River flows through northern Telangana, forming an interstate boundary with Maharashtra before joining the main stem?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Pranahita River is the largest tributary of the Godavari, formed by the confluence of the Wardha, Wainganga, and Penganga rivers, draining a vast catchment area and forming a natural boundary along northern Telangana. The Manjira originates in the Balaghat range of Maharashtra and flows through western Telangana before joining the Godavari at Kaleshwaram. The Manair is an internal tributary within the state. Understanding river confluences is vital for irrigation project planning in the Godavari basin.
