SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 38

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Narmada.

• The peninsular rivers are the rivers that originate from the peninsular plateaus and small hills of India.
• The majority of these rivers flow towards the Bay of Bengal from their Western Ghats origins. They are distinguished by wide and deep U-shaped valleys. The main water division in peninsular rivers is caused by the Western Ghats.
• These rivers are seasonal or non-perennial as they receive water only from the rains and thus cannot maintain water flow throughout the year.
• Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, Narmada, Tapti, Mahanadi, and Damodar are the peninsular rivers.
