Which two of the following are correctly matched?1.Keria–Odisha2.Kuki–Uttar Pradesh3.Yanadi–Rajasthan4.Paliyan–Tamil Nadu.Select the correct answer from the code given below:

1. A

   3 and 4

   Option (a) claims that pairs 3 and 4 are correctly matched. However, Yanadi is found in Andhra Pradesh, not Rajasthan. Therefore, this combination is incorrect.

2. B

   1 and 4

   Option (b) claims that pairs 1 and 4 are correctly matched. Keria is a tribal community found in Odisha, and Paliyan is a tribal community found in Tamil Nadu, making both pairs correctly matched. Furthermore, Kuki is found in Manipur and Yanadi in Andhra Pradesh, which establishes why this option is the correct key.

3. C

   2 and 3

   Option (c) claims that pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched. Kuki is primarily located in Northeast India such as Manipur, not Uttar Pradesh, making this choice incorrect.

4. D

   1 and 2

   Option (d) claims that pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched. Since Kuki is incorrectly matched with Uttar Pradesh, this option cannot be accepted as the right answer.

Summary. Official key is (b) because it correctly identifies the states associated with the listed tribes. Pair 1 correctly links the Keria tribe to Odisha. Pair 4 accurately places the Paliyan tribe in Tamil Nadu. Pairs 2 and 3 are incorrectly matched as Kuki belongs to Manipur and Yanadi to Andhra Pradesh. Thus, only option (b) holds true.
