Explanation:

All the statements are correct.
The Chenab of Jammu and Kashmir State is known as the Chandrabhaga in Himachal
Pradesh because it is formed by two streams, the Chandra and the Bhaga which join at
Tandi near Kylong.
Chandrabhaga flows north-westwards and runs parallel to the Pir Panjal Range for some
distance. Near Kishtwar, it cuts a deep gorge in the Pir Panjal Range and turns southwards
and flows in this direction for a short distance. Further down, it turns to the west and enters
the plain area near Akhnur. The river flows for 1180 km and drains 26,755 sq. km area in
India.
