Which are the west-flowing rivers of southern India which flow into Arabian Sea?

A Chambal and Betwa
B Damodar and Mahanadi
C Narmada and Tapti
D Krishna and Cauveri

Correct Answer: Narmada and Tapti

Narmada and Tapti are the west-flowing rivers of southern India which flow into Arabian Sea. The two major west flowing rivers are the Narmada and the Tapi. This exceptional behavior is because these rivers didn’t form valleys and instead they flow through faults (linear rift, rift valley, trough) created due to the bending of the northern peninsula during the formation process of Himalayas.
