Solution

Even though Indus and Brahmaputra originates from the same area, but they are not originating from the same source.
Brahmaputra originates from Chemayungdung Glacier which is between Himalayas in China where Indus originates from Tibetan Plateau near Lake Mansarovar. They flow in different directions because of the geographical layout of the ground.
