Solution
The correct option is A 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Peninsular Rivers originate in the Peninsular plateau and central highland, so they fixed course with well-adjusted valleys. They more or less completely graded valleys.
Statement 2 is correct: Himalayan Rivers flow across young fold mountains and are still young and active. Peninsular Rivers flow through one of the oldest plateaus of the world and have reached maturity.
Statement 3 is incorrect: Due to the hard rocky surface of the Peninsular plateau, there is little scope for the formation of meanders. When Himalayan Rivers enter the plains there is a reduction in the speed of flow of water and meanders will be formed under these circumstances.
