Correct Answer: 1 only. Narmada River is among the major rivers in peninsular India which flows from east to west towards rift valley, so statement 1 is correct. Narmada enters structural channel between Vindhya and Satpura ranges and flows across Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat in Gulf of Khambhat, so statement 2 is also correct but that is not the reason for flow towards west.  Statement 3 is incorrect.
