For which of the following rivers does the longitude reading decrease, as it moves along its course?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Narmada.

 

  • Narmada River flows westward, from Amarkantak (Madhya Pradesh) to the Arabian Sea.

  • Since it flows from east to west, the longitude values decrease as you move along its course.

  • In contrast:

    • Ganga, Godavari, and Kaveri all flow mainly from west to east, so their longitude values increase.
