Major left bank tributaries: Harangi, the Hemavati, the Shimsha and the Arkavati.
Major right bank tributaries: Lakshmantirtha, the Kabbani, the Suvarnavati, the Bhavani, the Noyil and the Amaravati
The basin can be divided into three parts – the Western Ghats, the Plateau of Mysore and the Delta.
The delta area is the most fertile tract in the basin.
The principal soil types found in the basin are black soils, red soils, laterites, alluvial soils, forest soils and mixed soils. Red soils occupy large areas in the basin. Alluvial soils are found in the delta areas.
National Parks in this basin: Bandipur National Park, Nagarhole National Park and Bannerghatta National Park. (Statement 3 is correct)

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
“Crystal Maze 2”, sometimes seen in the news is related to?
Correct
(b) Ballistic Missile
Ballistic missiles are powered initially by a rocket or series of rockets in stages, but then follow an unpowered trajectory that arches upwards before descending to reach its intended target. Ballistic missiles can carry either nuclear or conventional warheads.
Crystal Maze 2, also referred to as ROCKS, is an air-launched medium-range ballistic missile. It is of Israeli origin.
It is designed to target high-value stationary and relocatable assets, such as long-range radars and air defense systems, of potential adversaries.
Distinguished from its predecessor, Crystal Maze 1, which has been inducted into the IAF from Israel previously, the Crystal Maze 2 boasts extended stand-off range capabilities as an air-to-surface missile.
It is capable of hitting targets over 250 kilometers away.
