Which statement about Narmada is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a west flowing river

The direct answer is B: Narmada is a west-flowing river. Narmada rises near Amarkantak and travels west through a rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges. It finally reaches the Arabian Sea, not the Bay of Bengal. Option B is therefore correct. Option A is wrong because Narmada does not drain into the Bay of Bengal; that is the usual outlet of many major east-flowing Peninsular rivers such as Krishna, Kaveri and Mahanadi. Option C is wrong because Narmada is not a northern tributary of the Ganga. It has its own westward drainage basin and does not join the Ganga system. Option D is wrong because the Sundarbans are formed mainly by the deltaic deposits of the Ganga, Brahmaputra and Meghna near the Bay of Bengal, not by Narmada. The important fact chain is: Amarkantak origin, westward flow, rift valley, Arabian Sea. The word “west-flowing” is the decisive clue. Memory cue: Narmada and Tapi are the famous west-flowing Peninsular pair; do not place them in the Ganga or Sundarban system.
