Consider the following pairs :
Famous place - River
1. Pandharpur - Chandrabhaga
2. Tiruchirappalli - Cauvery
3. Hampi - Malaprabha
Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
1. Pair 1 is correctly matched. Pandharpur, a significant pilgrimage site in Maharashtra, is located on the banks of the Bhima River, which is locally referred to as the Chandrabhaga in that section.
2. Pair 2 is correctly matched. Tiruchirappalli (Trichy), a major city in Tamil Nadu, is situated on the banks of the Cauvery River.
3. Pair 3 is incorrectly matched. Hampi, the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, is located on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, not the Malaprabha River.
4. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched.
