    regions, which of the following statements is/are true? 1. In Punjab and the adjacent Himalayan regions, rivers flow from the north to the south. 2. The rivers in the south have large drainage systems, but this is not the case in the northern regions. Choose the correct answer from the codes below:

    B Only 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • Statement 1 is true, as rivers like the Ravi and Sutlej flow from the north towards the south in the Punjab and Himalayan regions. • Statement 2 is false because southern rivers like the Godavari and Krishna have vast drainage systems, while northern rivers also have considerable drainage systems, such as the Ganges and Yamuna. Thus, only Statement 1 is correct.
