Consider the following statements:

1.The region between the Tropic of Cancer and the “Tropic of Capricorn” which lies between 10⁰N and 10⁰S is called tropical region.

2.The sub-tropical region extends from 10⁰ to 30⁰ in north and south latitudes. The Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers flow through the subtropical regions

3.Amazon is the largest river in the world in terms of volume of water and second longest river in the world after Nile.

Explanation:

Incorrect: The tropical region does lie between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S), but they are not at 10°N and 10°S. The tropics actually extend from 23.5°N to 23.5°S.

Incorrect: The subtropical region typically extends from 23.5° to around 35° in both the northern and southern hemispheres. While the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers flow through regions that can be considered subtropical, the exact latitude range of 10° to 30° not precisely describe their entire course.

Correct: The Amazon River is indeed the largest in the world in terms of volume of water and is the second-longest river, after the Nile.
