At which of the following confluences do the rivers Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet to form the river Ganga ?
Devprayag
The Alaknanda has five major confluences in Uttarakhand, known as the Panch Prayag: Vishnuprayag, Nandprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag.
At Devprayag in Tehri Garhwal district, the Bhagirathi (rising at Gangotri/Gaumukh) meets the Alaknanda, and from this point the combined river is called the Ganga.
At the other places the Alaknanda meets different streams: the Dhauliganga at Vishnuprayag, the Pindar at Karnaprayag and the Mandakini at Rudraprayag.
Hence, Devprayag.
