The Amarkantak Hill is the origin point of two major rivers that flow in completely different directions (West and East). These two rivers are:
- ANarmada and Tapti
- BTapti and Sone
- CTapti and Betwa
- DNarmada and Mahanadi
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The Amarkantak Plateau in Madhya Pradesh serves as an important drainage node. The Narmada River originates here and flows westward into the Arabian Sea, while the Sone River originates nearby and runs northeastward/eastward to merge with the Ganga. (Note: While some older answer keys broad-map Sone or Mahanadi basin systems, out of given structural pairs, Narmada and Mahanadi/Sone trace directions from this plateau region).
