Detailed Solution

The Assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct. The northern plain is divided into three sections, and the Western part of the Northern plain is referred to as the Punjab plains.
The northern plain was formed by interacting with the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra river systems and their tributaries. The Northern Plain is divided into three parts and not two. Hence the Assertion is incorrect.
The Punjab Plains are the Western region of the Northern Plain. The majority of this plain, which the Indus and its tributaries created, is in Pakistan. Himalayan mountains are the source of the Indus and its tributaries, including the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Satluj. The doabs are the dominant species in this area of the plain. Hence reason is correct.
