Godavari and Krishna are what type of rivers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: East flowing

The direct answer is B, east flowing. A river is called east flowing when its general course is towards the east and it finally reaches the Bay of Bengal or another eastern coastal outlet. The Godavari rises in the Western Ghats and travels across the Deccan Plateau towards the Bay of Bengal. The Krishna also rises in the Western Ghats and flows generally eastward before entering the Bay of Bengal. Therefore both rivers belong to the east-flowing group. Option A, west flowing, is wrong because west-flowing peninsular rivers such as the Narmada and Tapi enter the Arabian Sea. Option B is correct because Godavari and Krishna reach the Bay of Bengal. Option C, glacier fed, is wrong because these are mainly rain-fed peninsular rivers, not Himalayan glacier-fed rivers. Option D, inland, is wrong because inland rivers end in lakes or disappear within land rather than reaching the sea. Memory cue: Godavari and Krishna go east to the Bay of Bengal; Narmada and Tapi go west to the Arabian Sea.
