The complete worked solution.
Every step explained - no skipped algebra.
The Tapti River flows westward and empties into the Arabian Sea near Surat in Gujarat. Unlike most peninsular rivers that flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal, the Tapti, along with the Narmada and Mahi, flows westward due to the westward slope of the land and the rift valley structure through which it flows.
Final Answer: Option B - Arabian Sea
