Detailed Solution

The Assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct.
The Tapti rises in the Satpura ranges in the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh and drains into the Arabian Sea near Swally in Gujarat, an important port during the Anglo-Portuguese period in the past. Hence the Assertion is incorrect.
The total length of this river is 700 K.m, and it flows parallel to the Narmada river, both rivers are separated by the Satpura range, and both are west-flowing rivers. Some cities near the Tapti river are Jalgaon, Surat, Bhusaval etc. Tapti covers three states of India, which are Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. Hence the reason is correct.
