    Explanation:

    As it flows down the hill, it is trapped in a rift valley between the Vindhya and the Satpura muntain ranges which leads it to the west towards Gujarat, were it drains into the Gulf of Khambat.

     Statement 2 is factually correct however, is not the reason for the rivers to flow to the west.

    Statement 3 is wrong as land slopes to the east in the region.
