Question

Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Kosi, and Son are five rivers.
Ganga is smaller than Yamuna but bigger than Son.
If Kosi is smaller than Yamuna but bigger than Ganga.
Then the order of the rivers from biggest to smallest will be:

• A. Saraswati \(>\) Yamuna \(>\) Kosi \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son
• B. Yamuna \(>\) Saraswati \(>\) Kosi \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son
• C. Saraswati \(>\) Kosi \(>\) Yamuna \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son
• D. Saraswati \(>\) Yamuna \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son \(>\) Kosi

Hint:

When solving ordering problems, write down each relationship systematically and combine them step by step to avoid confusion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the Problem.
We are given relationships between the sizes of five rivers: Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Kosi, and Son. Our task is to determine the correct order of the rivers from biggest to smallest.
Step 2: Analyze the Given Information.
Let’s break down the relationships step by step:
1. Ganga is smaller than Yamuna but bigger than Son. - This means: \[ \text{Yamuna \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son} \] 2. Kosi is smaller than Yamuna but bigger than Ganga. - This means: \[ \text{Yamuna \(>\) Kosi \(>\) Ganga} \] 3. Saraswati is not explicitly mentioned in the relationships. - Since Saraswati is not compared to any other river, we assume it is the largest river in the list.
Step 3: Combine the Relationships.
From the above information, we can combine the relationships: \[ \text{Saraswati \(>\) Yamuna \(>\) Kosi \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son} \]
Step 4: Match with the Options.
The correct order corresponds to Option (1): Saraswati \(>\) Yamuna \(>\) Kosi \(>\) Ganga \(>\) Son.
