Consider the following statements:

While Krishna and Cauvery are East flowing rivers, Narmada and Tapti are west flowing

While Krishna and Cauvery form delta, no delta is formed by Narmada and Tapti

Which of the above is / are correct statements?

Question

Krishna and Cauvery are East flowing rivers. They flow towards the eastern coast of India and eventually empty into the Bay of Bengal. These rivers do form deltas where they meet the Bay of Bengal. The Krishna River forms the Krishna Delta, and the Cauvery River forms the Cauvery Delta.
Narmada and Tapti are West flowing rivers. They flow towards the western coast of India and empty into the Arabian Sea. Unlike the east-flowing rivers, Narmada and Tapti do not form deltas at their mouths. Instead, they have estuaries. Estuaries are partially enclosed coastal bodies of water where freshwater from the river mixes with saltwater from the sea, but they do not exhibit the characteristic delta formation seen in the east-flowing rivers.

So both are correct statements.
