Consider the following pairs of Indian peninsular rivers and their primary outlets: 1. Mahanadi: Bay of Bengal 2. Sabarmati: Arabian Sea 3. Periyar: Laccadive Sea 4. Subarnarekha: Gulf of Mannar. Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
A. 1, 2 and 3 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2, 3 and 4 only
C. 1, 3 and 4 only
D. 1, 2 and 4 only
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Mahanadi drains into the Bay of Bengal, the Sabarmati empties into the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat, and the Periyar flows into the Laccadive Sea, making the first three pairs correct. Subarnarekha empties into the Bay of Bengal rather than the Gulf of Mannar, rendering the fourth pair incorrect. Peninsular river systems and their outfall basins are vital for geographical mapping questions.
