The correct answer is 1, 2 and 4.

Key Points

  • The peninsular plateau is considered to be the landmass framed due to the drifting of Gondwana land towards the north.
  • It consists of crystalline, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
  • The blocks are formed mainly of Granite and gneiss which is Metamorphic rock. The peninsular plateau is studied under two heads-
    • Central highlands
    • Deccan Plateau​

Additional Information

  • Statement 3  is incorrect because Malwa is situated in the west-central region of India and it forms the western flank of the plateau not the eastern.
  • Statement 4 is correct. While River Narmada flows between Vindhyas and Satpura, River Tapti flows below Satpura ranges and drains into the Arabian Sea.
