Which of the following is NOT correctly matched? Institute Location

A International Centre - Nairobi for Research on Agro-Forestry
B Indian Institute of - Bhopal Forest Management
C Central Agro-Forestry - Banda Research Institute
D Tata Energy Research - New Delhi Institute

Correct answer: (c) Central Agro-Forestry - Banda Research Institute

Explanation

  1. A

    International Centre - Nairobi for Research on Agro-Forestry

    International Centre for Research on Agro-Forestry claims Nairobi as its location. This match is historically and geographically correct as the institute is indeed headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, making this option a true pair.

  2. B

    Indian Institute of - Bhopal Forest Management

    Indian Institute of Forest Management claims Bhopal as its location. This match is also correct since the premier forest management institution is situated in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

  3. C

    Central Agro-Forestry - Banda Research Institute

    Central Agro-Forestry Research Institute claims Banda as its location, which is incorrect. The actual Central Agro-Forestry Research Institute is located in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, not Banda, rendering this option the correct choice for the question.

  4. D

    Tata Energy Research - New Delhi Institute

    Tata Energy Research Institute claims New Delhi as its location. This match is correct as the well-known research institute operates from New Delhi.

Summary. Official key is (c) because it incorrectly matches the Central Agro-Forestry Research Institute with Banda instead of its actual location in Jhansi. Options (a), (b), and (d) correctly pair their respective institutes with Nairobi, Bhopal, and New Delhi. Aspirants often confuse regional research centres in Uttar Pradesh due to similar naming conventions. Careful verification of institute headquarters prevents such errors in matching questions.
