SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 50

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Tapi.

Among the major rivers of India, the Narmada River is one that discharges its water into the Arabian Sea. Originating from the Amarkantak Plateau in Madhya Pradesh, the Narmada flows westward, unlike most Indian rivers which flow eastward. It travels across Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat before finally emptying into the Arabian Sea. Other rivers such as the Tapi and Mahi also follow a similar westward course and drain into the Arabian Sea. These rivers play a crucial role in irrigation, drinking water, and hydroelectric projects, and their westward flow makes them geographically unique in the Indian river system.
