74° पूर्व रेखांशावर महाराष्ट्रातील नद्यांचा उत्तरेकडून दक्षिणेकडे क्रम निवडा -
(a) गिरना
(b) नीरा
(c) कुकडी
(d) कोयना

The correct answer is Option C ((a), (c), (b), (d)).

Key Points:
• Longitudinal Intersect Analysis (along 74° E Longitude):
• The 74° E longitude meridian passes through Nashik, Ahmednagar, Pune, Satara, and Sangli/Kolhapur districts.
• Traversing from North to South along this line:
• 1. Girna River (a): Major tributary of the Tapi, crosses around 20°20' N in Nashik/Jalgaon.
• 2. Kukadi River (c): Tributary of the Ghod/Bhima, crosses around 19°00' N in Junnar/Shirur talukas (Pune district).
• 3. Nira River (b): Major right-bank tributary of the Bhima, forms boundary between Pune and Satara districts around 18°05' N.
• 4. Koyna River (d): Major tributary of Krishna in Satara district around 17°20' N.
• Thus, the correct North to South sequence along 74° E is Girna -> Kukadi -> Nira -> Koyana [(a), (c), (b), (d)].
• Hence, option (3) is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: Along 74°E longitude in Maharashtra, rivers cross from north to south in order: Tapi/Girna -> Godavari/Kukadi -> Bhima/Nira -> Krishna/Koyna.
