Q. Consider the following statements:

1. There are no east flowing rivers in Kerala.
2. There are no west flowing rivers in Madhya Pradesh.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct? (UPSC Prelims 2009)
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: Statement 1 is incorrect as Kerala has several east-flowing rivers, especially near the Western Ghats. Statement 2 is also incorrect because Madhya Pradesh has multiple west-flowing rivers, such as the Narmada and Tapti, that flow toward the Arabian Sea. Thus, both statements are wrong, making option 4 the correct answer.
