Answer 2

Explanation:

The Peninsula River flows faster than that of the Himalayas Rivers because their pathway is steeper than that of the Himalayan Rivers. The pathway of Himalayan River is wider but not steeper and hence their flow is not very fast. The peninsular rivers are seasonal they flow only during the rainy seasons whereas the Himalayan rivers flow throughout the year.

In addition, the Himalayan Rivers have a great opportunity to change their path but this is not permissible to peninsular rivers due to their hard rocky surface, this makes them stronger when they flow.
