The general slope of the Deccan Plateau is considered toward which side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East and south-east

The Deccan Plateau generally slopes from the higher western side toward the east and south-east. This broad gradient affects the direction of flow of many important rivers, including the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, which travel mainly toward the eastern side before reaching the Bay of Bengal. Therefore, option A is correct.

The slope is not perfectly uniform everywhere, because local hills, valleys, and escarpments alter the land surface. Even so, the general regional pattern is clear: the Western Ghats form a higher western edge, and the plateau gradually descends eastward and south-eastward. Thus, “only west” or “north-west” reverses the usual pattern, while “only north” is too limited. The best answer is east and south-east.
