Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2
Narmada and Tapi flow through rift valleys and, without a long coastal plain, empty through estuaries into the Arabian Sea, so statement 1 is correct. East flowing peninsular rivers cross broad eastern coastal plains and build deltas, as the Mahanadi and Krishna do. Both statements are correct.
