Q. Which range originates in eastern Gujarat near the Arabian Sea coast and stretches east through Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to Chhattisgarh?
Answer: Satpura Range
Notes: The Satpura Range, concurrently with the Vindhya Range, divides the Indian Subcontinent into the Indo-Gangetic plain and the Deccan Plateau. It originates in eastern Gujarat, running through Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to Chhattisgarh. It is interesting to note that the Narmada River originates from Satpura's north-eastern end and the Tapti River from its eastern-central part. Both rivers, in their journey towards the Arabian Sea, drain the northern and southern slopes of the Satpura and Vindhyan ranges respectively. Moreover, Satpura Range's peak, Mount Dhupgarh or Dhoopgarh, is the highest point in Madhya Pradesh.
