The 'Maikala Range' in central India serves as the watershed between which two major river systems?
A. Ganga and Yamuna
B. Narmada and Son✓ Correct Answer
C. Godavari and Krishna
D. Mahanadi and Brahmaputra
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Maikala Range acts as a crucial hydrographic divide separating the river basins flowing towards the Bay of Bengal from those flowing towards the Arabian Sea, specifically giving rise to the Narmada and the Son. Alternative choices like the Ganga and Yamuna share a confluence rather than originating from opposing sides of this range, while rivers like the Godavari and Krishna rise further south in the Western Ghats.
