Which of the following peninsular rivers falls into the Arabian Sea?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Sabarmati river.
Among the peninsular rivers, those that fall into the Arabian Sea include the Narmada, Tapi (Tapti), Mahi, Sabarmati, Sharavati, Mandovi, Zuari, and Periyar. Unlike most peninsular rivers, which flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal, these rivers follow a westward course due to the topography of the Western Ghats. The Narmada and Tapi are the most significant, originating from Madhya Pradesh and flowing through Maharashtra and Gujarat before emptying into the Arabian Sea.
