{'rivers': [3, 2, 8, 8], 'madhya pradesh': [16, 0, 16, 28], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'west': [11, 4, 16, 22]}
Option 1 states that there are no east-flowing rivers in Kerala, which is incorrect as some rivers such as Kabini and Bhavani do flow eastwards from Kerala.
Option 2 states there are no west flowing rivers in Madhya Pradesh, which is also incorrect. Many rivers in Madhya Pradesh such as Betwa, Son and Hiran flow westward.
Option 3 suggests that both statements are correct, which is false as discussed above.
Option 4 says neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct, which is the correct answer as we’ve seen that there are both east-flowing rivers in Kerala and west-flowing ones in Madhya Pradesh.
