Question
(A): The Sunderbans Delta is the largest delta in the world.(R): The Sunderbans Delta is formed by the confluence of the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers.
Solution
The statement (A) is correct. The Sunderbans Delta is indeed the largest delta in the world.
The reason (R) is also correct. The Sunderbans Delta is formed by the confluence of three rivers: the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna. These three rivers carry a large amount of sediment from the Himalayas and deposit it in the Bay of Bengal, creating the Sunderbans Delta.
So, the reason (R) is the correct explanation for the assertion (A).
