Explanation:

Statement 1: Limestones can’t bear the heavy weight of Himalayas. The core is actually made of granite rocks. Statement 2: It is one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. Statement 3: The Deccan Plateau is a large triangular plateau, bounded by the Vindhyas to the north and flanked by the Eastern and Western Ghats. This region is mostly semi-arid as it lies on the leeward side of both Ghats. Much of the Deccan is covered by thorn scrub forest scattered with small regions of deciduous broadleaf forest. Climate in the Deccan ranges from hot summers to mild winters.
