The general slope of the Deccan Plateau is in which direction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East and south-east

The correct answer is A, east and south-east. The Deccan Plateau is a broad peninsular upland whose general surface gradient descends from the higher western side toward the east and south-east. This relief pattern helps explain why several important rivers, including the Godavari, Krishna and Mahanadi systems, generally flow eastward and ultimately reach the Bay of Bengal. The Narmada and Tapi are notable west-flowing exceptions, largely following rift valleys, but they do not overturn the overall rule about the Deccan’s slope. “Only west” reverses the usual gradient, while north-west and only north do not describe the dominant drainage direction. Thus option A correctly expresses the broad geographical tendency, not an absolute direction for every local stream.
