At which one of the following places do two important rivers of India originate; while one of them flows towards north and merges with another important river flowing towards Bay of Bengal, the other one flows towards Arabian Sea?

1. The question describes a place where two important rivers of India originate. 2. Description of river flows: one flows towards north and merges with another important river flowing towards Bay of Bengal, while the other one flows towards Arabian Sea. 3. Let's examine the options: - Amarkantak: Located in Madhya Pradesh, it is the source of the Narmada River (flows west to Arabian Sea) and the Son River (flows north/north-east to join the Ganga, which flows towards the Bay of Bengal). This matches the description. - Badrinath: Source of the Alaknanda river, a major tributary of the Ganga (flows to Bay of Bengal). No major river flows west from here. - Mahabaleshwar: Source of the Krishna river (flows east to Bay of Bengal). Also nearby are sources of rivers like Venna and Koyna (join Krishna) and Savitri (flows west to Arabian Sea), but not the distinct North/West flow pattern described for two major rivers from the same point. - Nasik: The Godavari river originates near here (flows east to Bay of Bengal). No major river flows north to join another major river or west to the Arabian Sea from this specific location. 4. Amarkantak fits the description perfectly.
