Detailed Solution

Concept- Alluvial soil is of two types khadar and Bhangar. Khadar is newer alluvial soil. Older alluvial soil is also called bhangra.
It is full of kankars found along the river beds. It is rich in humus, as they are formed by the deposits of the river Indus, Ganga, and the Brahmaputra. Bhangar represents older alluvials that are deposited away from the flood plain.
Hence, option 3 is correct.
