Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) 1 only
The Narmada and Tapi flow through faulted rift valleys and form estuaries on the Arabian Sea, unlike most peninsular rivers that flow east. Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is wrong because both drain into the Arabian Sea, a common slip since the larger peninsular rivers do reach the Bay of Bengal.
