Consider the following pairs:
Famous place - Region
1. Bodhgaya - Baghelkhand
2. Khajuraho - Bundelkhand
3. Shirdi - Vidarbha
4. Nasik (Nashik) - Malwa
5. Tirupati - Rayalaseema
Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1. Pair 1: Bodhgaya is located in Gaya district of Bihar. Baghelkhand is a region primarily in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Thus, this pair is incorrectly matched.
2. Pair 2: Khajuraho, famous for its temples, is located in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, which falls within the historical and cultural region of Bundelkhand. Thus, this pair is correctly matched.
3. Pair 3: Shirdi, a major pilgrimage site, is located in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra. While Ahmednagar is geographically close to the Vidarbha region, it is typically considered part of Western Maharashtra or Khandesh, not Vidarbha (which covers eastern Maharashtra). Thus, this pair is incorrectly matched.
4. Pair 4: Nasik (Nashik) is a major city in northern Maharashtra. The Malwa region primarily covers western Madhya Pradesh and southeastern Rajasthan. Thus, this pair is incorrectly matched.
5. Pair 5: Tirupati, famous for the Venkateswara Temple, is located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. This district falls within the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. Thus, this pair is correctly matched.
6. Therefore, only pairs 2 and 5 are correctly matched.
