Detailed Solution

The given statement is true. Alluvial soil, formed as a result of the sediment deposition by rivers, can be classified based on age as Khadar and Bhangar. The numerous rivers originating from the Himalayan mountains result in the formation of the Ganga-Brahmaputra plains. The soil deposited in the river plains that gets replenished annually by the flooding rivers is the new and fertile alluvium Khadar. The earlier deposits of alluvium in the uplands are the older alluvium, Bhangar. The rivers no longer flow through these regions, resulting in decreased soil fertility. The low-lying flood plains drained by the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Indus are sites of fertile alluvial deposition.
