Detailed Solution

According to the above question, the correct option is 4th, as the assertion is incorrect, but the Reason is correct.
The river Krishna rises from spring near Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra, and after flowing for about 1290 k.m, it finally drains into the Bay of Bengal in Andhra Pradesh. Hence the assertion is incorrect.
This river flows through three states: Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. The major tributaries of the Krishna river are Tungabhadra, Koyana, Ghatprabha, Musi, and Bhima. Krishna river is a major source of irrigation in agriculture, as 75% of its basin is agricultural land. Before draining into the Bay of Bengal, this river forms a large delta of 35k.m.
