Which of the following rivers in Tripura experience tide

A. Gumti

B. Fenny

C. Howra

D. Khowai

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

What are tides? Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun.
Think of it like the ocean "breathing" in and out.

Why do some rivers experience tides? Tides can travel up rivers that are close to the sea.
The closer a river's mouth is to the ocean, and the wider its opening, the more likely it is to experience tidal effects.

Now let's look at the options:
Option A: Gumti While an important river in Tripura, Gumti's location and characteristics don't make it a primary candidate for experiencing significant tides.
Option B: Fenny The Fenny River forms part of the border between India and Bangladesh and is closer to the coast than some of the other rivers listed.
Because of its location closer to the Bay of Bengal ,it experiences tides.
Option C: Howra The Howra river flows through Agartala, but it's further inland, making it less likely to be affected by tides.
Option D: Khowai The Khowai River is also situated more inland and is less susceptible to tidal influences.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Fenny. It is the most likely of the listed rivers in Tripura to experience tides because of its relative proximity to the sea (Bay of Bengal).
