In this question, four words have been given of which three are alike in some way and one is different. Find the odd one out.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Narmada
Option (1) Brahmaputra — rises in Tibet, flows through Assam and Bangladesh and falls into the Bay of Bengal.
Option (2) Kaveri — rises in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, flows east and falls into the Bay of Bengal.
Option (3) Narmada — rises at Amarkantak and flows west through a rift valley into the Arabian Sea. So the Narmada, the only west-flowing river of the four, is the odd one out.
Option (4) Ganga — rises at Gangotri in the Himalayas, flows east and falls into the Bay of Bengal.
