Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2
Both are correct. The river rises near Mansarovar as the Tsangpo, enters India in Arunachal Pradesh as the Dihang/Siang, becomes the Brahmaputra in Assam and flows into Bangladesh as the Jamuna, finally joining the Ganga (Padma) and the Meghna. Rejecting either statement shows confusion with the Teesta or the Padma.
