Explanation

The Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers of Asia and flows through Tibet, India, and Bangladesh. It has numerous tributaries, especially in India, that significantly contribute to its volume. The Dibang, Kameng, and Lohit are all prominent right-bank and left-bank tributaries of the Brahmaputra River in India. The Lohit River is a left-bank tributary that merges with the Brahmaputra near Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh. The Dibang River, also a left-bank tributary, joins the Brahmaputra upstream of the Lohit. The Kameng River is a significant right-bank tributary that flows through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam before joining the Brahmaputra. Therefore, all three listed rivers are tributaries of the Brahmaputra.
