Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 and 3 only
The Barak River rises in Manipur, flows through Mizoram and Assam, and never enters Arunachal Pradesh ([britannica.com](https://www.britannica.com/place/Barak-River)). In contrast, both the Lohit and the Subansiri originate in Tibet and traverse Arunachal Pradesh before meeting the Brahmaputra ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lohit_River)). Hence only statements 2 and 3 are correct, making option (b) the right choice.
