• The Chambal River is an important river in central India.

• It flows through Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh - This statement is correct. The Chambal River originates in the Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh and flows through Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. It also forms the boundary between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh for some distance.

• It is famous for badlands and deep ravines - This statement is correct. The Chambal valley is known for its extensive badland topography, characterized by deep ravines and gullies. This region is often referred to as the "Chambal Ravines" and has historically been challenging terrain for agriculture and settlement.

• Its main tributary is the Ken River - This statement is incorrect. The Ken River is actually a tributary of the Yamuna River, not the Chambal. The main tributaries of the Chambal River include the Banas, Kali Sindh, and Parbati rivers.
