Explanation

The correct answer is Option B (1 and 3) because Palar and Pennar are east-flowing rivers, while Periyar and Kalinadi flow westwards.

  • Palar: It originates in the Nandi Hills of Chikkaballapur district (Karnataka), flows through Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and finally empties into the Bay of Bengal.
  • Pennar (Penna): This river also originates in the Nandi Hills of Karnataka. It flows through Andhra Pradesh before draining into the Bay of Bengal near Nellore.
  • Periyar: It is the longest river in Kerala and a major west-flowing river that drains into the Arabian Sea.
  • Kalinadi: Originating in the Western Ghats of Karnataka (Uttara Kannada district), it flows westwards and joins the Arabian Sea.

Therefore, only rivers 1 and 3 flow towards the east.
