Question

Assertion (A): River Kalinadi is an east-flowing river in the southern part of India. Reason(R): The Deccan Plateau is higher along its western edge and gently slopes towards the bay of Bengal in the east.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because Assertion A is false and Reason R is true.

River Kalinadi is a west flowing river that originates in the Western Ghats of Karnataka and flows into the Arabian Sea. It is not an east flowing river.

Reason R is a correct geographical statement. The Deccan Plateau is indeed tilted, with its higher elevation along the western edge and a gentle slope towards the Bay of Bengal in the east. This tilt explains why major rivers like the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri flow eastward, but it does not apply to the Kalinadi because that river flows west. Since the first statement is incorrect and the second is correct, option D is the right choice.

Answer

Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.
