Which river is considered a west-flowing river of Peninsular India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Narmada

The direct answer is option C, Narmada. A west-flowing river of Peninsular India moves towards the Arabian Sea rather than the Bay of Bengal. Narmada rises near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh and flows west through a structural trough or rift valley before entering the Arabian Sea. It is one of the best-known west-flowing peninsular rivers. Option A, Godavari, generally flows east and enters the Bay of Bengal. Option B, Mahanadi, also flows mainly eastward into the Bay of Bengal. Option C is correct because Narmada is a major west-flowing river. Option D, Cauvery, generally flows eastward from the southern plateau to the Bay of Bengal. Tapi is another important west-flowing peninsular river, which is why Narmada and Tapi are often remembered together. The word ‘west’ refers to the direction of the river’s overall flow and not to every small bend in its channel. Memory cue: Narmada and Tapi flow west; Godavari, Mahanadi, and Cauvery flow east.
