In which of the following countries does the Brahmaputra River NOT flow?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Nepal.
The Brahmaputra River does not flow through Nepal. It originates in Tibet (China), where it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo. From there, it enters India through Arunachal Pradesh, where it is called the Siang or Dihang, and then flows into Assam as the Brahmaputra. Finally, it enters Bangladesh, where it merges with the Ganga (Padma) before reaching the Bay of Bengal. Nepal, however, lies to the west of this river system and is not part of the Brahmaputra’s course. Thus, while China, India, and Bangladesh are directly connected to it, Nepal is not.
