· Statement 2 is correct: The river originates from the Chemayungdung Glacier, located near Mount Kailash in the Himalayas.
· Statement 3 is incorrect: It is the Ganga River that flows past Farakka Barrage into Bangladesh, where it is called the Padma. The Brahmaputra enters Bangladesh separately and is known there as the Jamuna (not Padma).
