  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which pair best matches a major hydel dam with the river it mainly impounds in Pakistan?

    • A) Tarbela on Jhelum
    • B) Mangla on Chenab
    • C) Tarbela on Indus
    • D) Warsak on Sutlej

    Answer: Tarbela on Indus

    Explanation: Tarbela Dam, completed in 1976, is built on the Indus River in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and remains one of the world's largest earth-filled dams by structural volume. Mangla Dam is on the Jhelum River, not the Chenab, making the Tarbela–Indus pairing the only correct match among the options.
