Which of the following is NOT correctly matched? (Tribes) (Location)

A Angamis – Nagaland
B Birhors – Jharkhand
C Khas – Arunachal Pradesh
D Todas – Tamil Nadu

Correct answer: (c) Khas – Arunachal Pradesh

Explanation

  1. A

    Angamis – Nagaland

    (a) Angamis – Nagaland. Angami Nagas are correctly placed in Nagaland (Kohima region).

  2. B

    Birhors – Jharkhand

    (b) Birhors – Jharkhand. Birhor are a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group of the Chotanagpur plateau, correctly matched with Jharkhand.

  3. C

    Khas – Arunachal Pradesh

    (c) Khas – Arunachal Pradesh. Khas (Khasa) communities are associated with the central Himalaya—Uttarakhand and Nepal—not Arunachal Pradesh. This mismatch is the official key.

  4. D

    Todas – Tamil Nadu

    (d) Todas – Tamil Nadu. Todas are a Nilgiri pastoral tribe of Tamil Nadu, correctly matched.

Summary. Official key is (c). Angami–Nagaland, Birhor–Jharkhand and Toda–Tamil Nadu are right. Khas are not an Arunachal tribe; they belong to the central Himalaya, so that pair is not correctly matched.
