_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Answer 1

Hint: The river Brahmaputra originates from the Angsi glaciers lying to the southeast of Kailash Mountain and Mansarovar Lake. The Brahmaputra River is one of the international river systems along with the Indus and the Ganga River.

Complete answer:
The River Brahmaputra is the third major antecedent river of India which flows from the Himalayan region towards the northern plains. The river rises in the Tibetan plateau region from the Mansarovar Lake to the Himalayan ranges in an easterly direction. In this part, the river is known as Tsangpo. The river then takes a southward turn and enters India in the eastern part of the state Arunachal Pradesh under the name Dihang. From there, it flows in a westward direction up to Dhubri where it suddenly turns south and then enters Bangladesh with Jamuna as its name. The total catchment area of the Brahmaputra receives heavy rainfall giving way to numerous tributaries. This causes the river to bring with it heavy loads of silt and this constant movement of silt results in the instability of the river regime. Majuli, the largest river island in Asia lies in the Brahmaputra River in the state of Assam.
So, the correct answer is Tsangpo, Dihang, and Jamuna..

Note:The Ganga and the Brahmaputra joins in Bangladesh and forms the extensive delta of Sunderban which is considered the world’s largest delta. The waters of the river Brahmaputra are shared by three countries namely China, India, and Bangladesh.
