Which of the following rivers in India flows westward?

Correct option is D

 The Luni River is one of the few rivers in India that flows westward, primarily in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Originating in the Aravalli Range, it flows towards the Rann of Kutch. Due to the saline soil in its basin, the river water is slightly salty.
Important Key Points:
1. The Luni River originates in the Pushkar Valley of the Aravalli Range.
2. It flows through the Thar Desert, creating an arid basin.
3. The river’s water becomes increasingly saline as it flows west.
4. Luni is a seasonal river, with most flow occurring during the monsoon.
5. It does not reach the sea but drains into the marshy lands of the Rann of Kutch.
6. Luni is crucial for irrigation in parts of Rajasthan.
