Which of the following rivers is NOT related to the coastal plain of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Yamuna.
The river Yamuna is not related to the coastal plain of India. Unlike rivers such as the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, which originate in the interior and flow eastward to form fertile deltas along the eastern coastal plains, the Yamuna flows through the northern plains of India and is a major tributary of the Ganga. It originates from the Yamunotri glacier in the Himalayas and passes through states like Uttarakhand, Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. Since it does not reach or form any part of the coastal plains, it is not associated with India's coastal river systems.
