Explanation:

Explanation:
The tributaries of the Meghna River originate in the mountains of eastern India (the main one called Barak) and flow south-west. The Meghna River flows south-west and joins the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers, before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. The Irrawaddy rises in northern Myanmar and is joined by a major tributary, the Chindwin, just west of Mandalay, before reaching the Andaman Sea.
