3. Manjra – Godavari: Correct. Manjra River is a tributary of the Godavari River.

Deccan Rivers (Peninsular Rivers) are a major river system in India, broadly classified into East Flowing (draining into the Bay of Bengal) and West Flowing (draining into the Arabian Sea). Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri are major east-flowing Deccan rivers, while Narmada and Tapti are major west-flowing Deccan rivers. Knowing the major tributaries of these rivers is important for geography of India.
