Explanation
- A
Only 1, 2 and 3
Only 1, 2 and 3. Budapest–Danube and Cologne–Rhine are correctly matched.
- B
Only 3 and 4
Only 3 and 4. New Orleans is on the Mississippi, not the Missouri. Hyderabad (India) is on the Musi, not the Paleru.
- C
Only 2, 3 and 4
Only 2, 3 and 4. Cologne–Rhine holds.
- D
Only 1 and 2
Only 1 and 2. Those two are correct matches, so they are not the answer to ‘NOT matched’.
Summary. Official key is (b) only 3 and 4. New Orleans–Missouri and Hyderabad–Paleru are the wrong pairs. Also note: Danube — Budapest; also Vienna, Belgrade; Rhine — Cologne; Rotterdam mouth; Mississippi — New Orleans; Missouri is a tributary upstream; Musi — Hyderabad; Paleru is a Krishna tributary in AP, not the city river.
