Peninsular India is drained by five major river systems: Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Penner and

North India. The apex of the triangular plateau is at Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu.Most of the peninsular rivers flow west to east indicating it‘s general slope gradient of the west to
east. Narmada-Tapti is the exceptions which flow from east to west in a rift caused by the divergent
boundary.The Peninsular Plateau is one of the oldest and stable landforms of the earth.
The geology and climate of Peninsular India are two overriding physical controls affecting the rivers of
the region.The rocks of the peninsular plateau of India extend further north-east beyond the Rajmahal
hills and form a rectangular block known as the Meghalaya or the Shillong plateau.This plateau has been separated from the main block of the peninsular plateau by a wide gap known as the Garo- Rajmahal Gap. This gap was formed by down-faulting and was later on filled by sediments deposited by
the Ganga. Hence statement 1 is not correct and statement 2 is correct.
