Answer
(i) Most of the rivers in South India flow into the Bay of Bengal because the peninsular plateau gently slopes from west to east. Hence, the rivers flow from higher altitude to lower altitude and fall into Bay of Bengal.
(ii) The Rann of Kutch is not cultivated because it is a marshy lowland covered with salty water.
(iii) The Rajasthan Plains are an area of inland drainage because the rivers of the area do not have sufficient water to reach the sea and dry up or disappear into the sand.
