Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: The Brahmaputra River is called Tsangpo in Tibet and also referred to as Yarlung Zangbo in China.
· 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).

· In India, the Brahmaputra flows through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, and then enters Bangladesh as Jamuna, before merging with the Padma (Ganga) and then into the Meghna River.
· It is one of the few rivers in the world with a male name and exhibits braided channels, floodplains, and high sediment loads.
