Which one of the following is NOT correctly matched? (Ruler) (State)

1. A

   Rana Hamir – Mewar

   Rana Hamir (Hammir) of Mewar restored Sisodia power at Chittor in the fourteenth century after the Khalji interlude. The pair Rana Hamir–Mewar is correctly matched. It is not the error.

2. B

   Rana Chunda – Marwar

   Rana Chunda is associated with the early Rathore/Marwar line (Jodha’s ancestor in standard Rajput genealogies used in this matching). The pair with Marwar is treated as correct here. It is not the unmatched row.

3. C

   Malik Raja Farooqi – Khandesh

   Malik Raja Faruqi (Farooqi) founded the Faruqi dynasty of Khandesh. The pair is correctly matched. Khandesh is not Malwa and not Jaunpur.

4. D

   Malik Sarwar – Malwa Khwaja Jahan

   (d) Official key: Malik Sarwar Khwaja Jahan founded the Sharqi Sultanate of Jaunpur, not Malwa. Malwa’s independent sultanate is associated with Dilawar Khan Ghuri and Hoshang Shah. Therefore ruler–state pairing Malik Sarwar–Malwa is not correctly matched.

Summary. Official key is (d). Hamir belongs to Mewar, Chunda to Marwar, and Malik Raja Faruqi to Khandesh. Malik Sarwar Khwaja Jahan belongs to Jaunpur (Sharqi), not Malwa. The incorrectly matched pair is therefore (d).
