Assertion (A) : West flowing rivers of peninsular India have no deltas.

Reason (R) : These rivers do not carry any alluvial sediments.

The correct answer is:

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

West flowing rivers Narmada and Tapti do not form a delta, because the topography of western peninsular India is rocky without loose sediments and no alluvial sediments carried by the rivers.

Hence, Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
