Assertion (A): Chotanagpur Plateau forms the eastern continuation of the Central Highlands. Reason (R): It is chiefly drained by the Chambal and Betwa rivers.

1. Both A and R are true, and R explains A
2. Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A
3. A is true, but R is false
4. A is false, but R is true

Correct answer: A is true, but R is false

Solution

The Chotanagpur Plateau is considered part of the eastern extension of the Central Highlands, so the assertion is true. However, it is not chiefly drained by the Chambal and Betwa rivers; those rivers belong to the Central Highlands region, so the reason is false.
