Correct Answer: Option B) 2 & 3
All tributaries of the Narmada are long and meandering - This statement is incorrect. The Narmada has numerous tributaries, and while some may be long and meandering, not all of them share this characteristic. Many of the tributaries are actually short and flow straight down from the hills into the main river. The major tributaries include the Hiran, Barna, Tawa, Shakkar, and Dudhi rivers, which vary in their length and course patterns.
The Narmada flows through a deep gorge near Jabalpur - This statement is correct. Near Jabalpur, the Narmada River flows through a spectacular marble gorge known as "Marble Rocks" at Bhedaghat. The river narrows down to flow through this deep gorge, creating a remarkable geological feature that's famous for its scenic beauty.
The Dhuandhar Falls are located on the Narmada - This statement is correct. Dhuandhar Falls (also known as Smoke Cascade) is indeed located on the Narmada River at Bhedaghat near Jabalpur. The falls are formed when the Narmada River narrows down and plunges into the gorge, creating a misty appearance that gives it the name "Dhuandhar" (meaning "smoke cascade").
