Why is it geographically wrong to place Mahi and Sabarmati in the Ganga system?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are west-flowing rivers and flow towards the Arabian Sea

Mahi and Sabarmati belong to the west-flowing river group of India. They rise in the central-western part of the country and generally move toward the Arabian Sea, entering it through the western coastal region. They are therefore not part of the Ganga drainage system, whose rivers generally flow eastward toward the Ganga basin and the Bay of Bengal. A river system is identified by its drainage basin and outlet, not simply by the fact that a river is in India.

Option A is correct because the westward direction and Arabian Sea outlet separate these rivers from the Ganga system. They are not branches of the Yamuna, do not form distributaries in the Sundarbans, and are not formed by the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda. These features belong to other drainage relationships, so A provides the geographical reason for rejecting the classification.
