Consider the following statements regarding River Brahmaputra : 1. It rises in Tibet, near Lake Mansarovar 2. It takes a "U" turn near Namcha Barwa and enters India through a gorge Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Both statements are correct regarding the Brahmaputra river system:

• Statement 1: The Brahmaputra originates in the Angsi Glacier (part of the Kailash range) in Tibet, located south of Lake Mansarovar. In its upper course in Tibet, it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo and flows eastward parallel to the Himalayas.
• Statement 2: Upon reaching the easternmost peak of the Himalayas, Namcha Barwa, the river takes a sharp "U" turn (often called the Great Bend). It enters India in Arunachal Pradesh through a deep gorge, where it is initially called the Siang or Dihang before being joined by tributaries like the Dibang and Lohit to form the Brahmaputra in Assam.

Thus, both statements accurately describe the origin and entry of the river into India.
