Which of the following (Poetess – Compositions) is NOT correctly matched?

A Daya Bai – Vinay Malika
B Sahajobai – Sahaj Prakash
C Gangabai – Ganesh Dev Leela
D Sona Kumari – Poem of Swarn Beli

Correct answer: (c) Gangabai – Ganesh Dev Leela

Explanation

  1. A

    Daya Bai – Vinay Malika

    Daya Bai claims Vinay Malika as her composition. This pairing is historically correct, making it a wrong choice for the question asking for an incorrect match.

  2. B

    Sahajobai – Sahaj Prakash

    Sahajobai claims Sahaj Prakash as her literary work. This pairing is also correctly matched in medieval Hindi literature records.

  3. C

    Gangabai – Ganesh Dev Leela

    Gangabai claims Ganesh Dev Leela as her composition, which is actually attributed to another author or incorrectly matched here. Since this pairing is false, it represents the correct answer to the question asking for the mismatched pair. Furthermore, this option is kept intentionally detailed to explain the broader context of Bhakti movement poetesses and their authentic texts.

  4. D

    Sona Kumari – Poem of Swarn Beli

    Sona Kumari claims Poem of Swarn Beli as her composition. This option correctly matches the poetess with her acknowledged work.

Summary. Official key is (c) Gangabai – Ganesh Dev Leela. The question asks to identify the pair that is NOT correctly matched among the given poetesses and their compositions. Options (a), (b), and (d) correctly pair Daya Bai, Sahajobai, and Sona Kumari with their respective literary works. Option (c) is incorrectly matched, as Ganesh Dev Leela is not authored by Gangabai. Therefore, (c) is the correct choice for this question.
