| 2. Khadar is mainly confined to the flood plains along the river banks |
A) 1 only
B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2
D) Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The Bhangar (or Bangar) is composed of old alluvium of the Middle Pleistocene age and forms the alluvial terrace above the level of flood plains. It is often impregnated with calcareous concretions known as kankar. The khadar is composed of newer alluvium and forms flood plains along the river banks. A new layer of alluvium is deposited by the river almost every year.
