Solution

The correct option is A 1 and 2 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correctly matched:
Mandakini meets Alakhnanda at RudraPrayag.

Statement 2 is correctly matched: Bhagirathi meets Alakhnanda at DevPrayag and from here the combined stream is called Ganga.

Statement 3 is incorrectly matched. Pinder Ganga meets Alakhnanda at KarnaPrayag (not VishnuPrayag).
