Explanation
Pair 1 is correctly matched: The Bandarpunch Glacier is the source of the Yamuna River. It is located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. It is one of the major rivers in northern India.
Pair 2 is correctly matched: The Bara Shigri Glacier is one of the largest glaciers in Himachal Pradesh. The meltwater from this glacier forms the Chandra River which combines with the Bhaga River to create the Chenab River.
Pair 3 is incorrectly matched: The Milam Glacier located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand is the source of the Gori Ganga River, not the Mandakini River. The Mandakini River originates from the Chorabari Glacier near Kedarnath.
Pair 4 is correctly matched: The Siachen Glacier, one of the longest glaciers in the world, is located in the Karakoram range in Ladakh. It is a major source of the Nubra River, which is a tributary of the Shyok River. The Nubra Valley, known for its cold desert landscape, lies along the Nubra River, making the glacier a crucial hydrological feature of the region.
Pair 5 is incorrectly matched: Zemu Glacier is the primary source of the Teesta River not Manas River. The Teesta flows through Sikkim and West Bengal before entering Bangladesh. The Manas River originates in Bhutan and has no connection to the Zemu Glacier.
