Answer 2

The Western Ghats are just close, continuous and parallel to the western coast.The Deccan Plateau slopes gradually towards east.
Deltas are formed due to accumulation of sediments brought by the rivers.
Stream velocity decreases as the slope decreases.
The rivers that originate in the Western Ghats (WG hereafter), either flow eastwards or westwards.
The west flowing rivers are shorter than the east flowing rivers. There is a high gradient for the west flowing rivers than the east flowing rivers. Therefore, being very close to coast and with high gradient, there are less opportunities for rivers to become wide (spread out) towards the sea unlike east flowing rivers.
