Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Option a. Both A (Assertion) and R (Reason) are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Because of the downfall of the Indian Peninsular Land, the greater part of the major Peninsular Indian Rivers flow from west to east preferring the pathway of least resistance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reason is correct: The pattern of flow of peninsular rivers from west to east proves that the general elevation of the plateau is from the west to the east.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the major Peninsular Rivers except Narmada and Tapi flow from west to east. The Chambal, the Sind, the Betwa, the Ken, the Son, originating in the northern part of the Peninsula belong to the Ganga river system.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most peninsular rivers are east flowing. Narmada and Tapi are the only two major peninsular rivers that empty into the Arabian sea. The Western Ghats act as a water divide between east flowing river and west flowing river.
Detailed explanation-5: -Rising from the height of 150 m above the river plains up to an elevation of 600-900 m is the irregular triangle known as the Peninsular plateau.
