Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer:
Only 2 and 3
Notes: The major west flowing rivers of India, such as the Narmada and Tapi, generally flow through hard rocks and do not carry much silt. As a result, they do not form distributaries or deltas; instead, they form estuaries before entering the Arabian Sea. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct, whereas statement 1 is incorrect.
