Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Ganga beyond Farakka when it enters Bangladesh is known as Padma. Once the Padma reaches the centre of Bangladesh, it joins with the Brahmaputra, or Jamuna, as it is known in Bangladesh, where the two join and form the Meghna River. The Farakka Barrage was created by India in 1975 to divert water from the Ganges River to the Bhagirathi-Hoogly river system.
