Which statement is correct about Bhakra Canal project? (A) It is a joint…

Answer: The correct statements about the Bhakra Canal project are the three statements that say it is a joint project of Punjab-Haryana-Rajasthan, that it provides irrigation to Hanumangarh district, and that it irrigates about 2.3 lakh hectares of agricultural land. The statement giving Rajasthan’s share as 17.22% is incorrect.

• It is a joint project of Punjab-Haryana-Rajasthan: Correct. The Bhakra Canal system serves all three states as part of the Bhakra-Nangal irrigation and power development.

• It provides irrigation to Hanumangarh district: Correct. Parts of northern Rajasthan, including Hanumangarh district, receive irrigation from the Bhakra canal network.

• Rajasthan’s share is 17.22%: Incorrect. The specific percentage figure given here is not the correct allocation for Rajasthan, so this numeric claim should not be accepted as true.

• It irrigates 2.3 lakh hectare of agricultural land: Correct. The Bhakra canal network irrigates on the order of a few lakh hectares; the figure 2.3 lakh hectares is cited as a correct approximate extent in this context.

Conclusion: Choose the option that lists the three correct statements (the joint project of Punjab-Haryana-Rajasthan; provides irrigation to Hanumangarh; irrigates about 2.3 lakh hectares). The option including the 17.22% figure is incorrect because that numeric share is not accurate.
