Peninsular rivers mainly depend on rainfall, whereas Himalayan rivers are relatively more perennial.
Peninsular rivers mainly originate from glaciers, whereas Himalayan rivers are fed only by rainfall.
Himalayan rivers flow only in mountainous regions and do not reach the plains.
Peninsular and Himalayan rivers have no difference in their water sources or flow characteristics.

Question 1MediumLevel 36
Which conclusion is correct in comparing peninsular and Himalayan rivers?
Correct answer: A
Peninsular rivers receive most of their water from monsoon rainfall, so their flow may decrease in the dry season. Himalayan rivers receive water from rainfall as well as glaciers and melting snow, making them generally more perennial. Option B reverses this pattern: most Himalayan rivers are fed by snow/glaciers and rainfall. Exam tip: compare rivers by their source, water supply, and flow throughout the year.
Tapi is a west-flowing peninsular river. It rises in central India and flows through Maharashtra and Gujarat before joining the Arabian Sea. Therefore, it does not form a delta in the Bay of Bengal. The river called Tsangpo in Tibet is the Brahmaputra. Exam tip: remember Narmada and Tapi as the major west-flowing peninsular rivers.
The eastward slope of the Deccan Plateau most clearly affects what?
Correct answer: A
The Deccan Plateau generally slopes from west to east. Therefore, most major Peninsular rivers, such as the Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri and Mahanadi, flow eastward and drain into the Bay of Bengal. The Narmada and Tapi are important west-flowing exceptions because they follow rift valleys to the Arabian Sea. Exam tip: link the direction of a plateau's slope with the direction of river flow.
