Question

Narmada rises from
A) Chattisgarh.
B) Betul.
C) Amarkantak.
D) Nasik.

Answer 1

Hint: The Narmada River, also known as the Reva and previously as the Narbada. This river runs through the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The Narmada, the Peninsula's largest west-flowing river, rises near the Amarkantak mountain range in Madhya Pradesh.

Complete answer:
It is also regarded as the "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat" because of its numerous contributions to the states of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The Narmada River rises from the Amarkantak Plateau in the Madhya Pradesh district of Anuppur.

It forms the traditional border between North and South India and flows westward for 1,312 km (815.2 mi) before draining into the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat, 30 km (18.6 mi) west of Bharuch, Gujarat. The Narmada, the Peninsula's largest west-flowing river, rises near the Amarkantak range of mountains in Madhya Pradesh. It is the country's fifth largest river and the largest in Gujarat.

The Narmada River is used for navigation as well as irrigation. During the rainy season, large boats sail about 100 kilometres above Bharuch. The port of Bharuch is frequented by seagoing vessels of about 70 tonnes, but they are entirely dependent on the tide.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Note: Along with the Tapti and Mahi rivers, it is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that flow from east to west (longest west flowing river). It is one of the rivers in India that flows west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges in a rift valley.
