Question

Which of the following rivers flows between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges?
A. Mahanadi
B. Tungabhadra
C. Narmada
D. Chambal

Answer 1

HintThe Narmada River is also known as the 'Reva'. Vindhya range has a number of distinct hill systems that run parallel to the Narmada river. Satpura is a range of hills in central India and they run parallel to the Vindhya range which ultimately means that they run parallel to the Narmada river. Narmada river is known to originate in the northeastern end of India. Narmada rises from Amarkantak Plateau in Anuppur district Madhya Pradesh.

Step by step solution
Option A-This option is incorrect because the river Mahanadi flows in the East-Central part of India. It flows in states like Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Chattisgarh.
Option B-This option is incorrect because the Tungabhadra River rises and flows in Karnataka for most of its part. It ultimately joins the Krishna river which is nowhere near Narmada.
Option C-This option is absolutely correct because the Narmada river which is also known as Reva is the Lifeline of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. It flows between Vindhya and Satpura range.
Option D-This option is incorrect because Chambal River is a tributary of river Yamuna, it rises from the Vindhya range but flows towards southeastern Rajasthan State.

All these statements state that Option C is absolutely correct.

NoteThe rivers of India play an important role in the lives of the people. They provide for all the cities living on their banks from water to transportation. Rivers are considered to be an incarnation of God in the Hindu culture and they are worshipped and highly celebrated in India.
