Which river originates from Amarkantak and flows westward unlike the Son which flows eastward?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Narmada

The correct answer is A, the Narmada. The Narmada rises near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh and flows westward through a rift valley before reaching the Arabian Sea. The Son also rises in the Amarkantak region, but it flows generally eastward and joins the Ganga system. This contrast in direction is the central concept tested by the question. Mahanadi flows eastward to the Bay of Bengal, Pennar is a southern peninsular river that also flows eastward, and Ghaghara is a Himalayan tributary of the Ganga. Therefore, the Amarkantak origin combined with westward flow uniquely identifies the Narmada.
