Consider the following pairs:Famous Place - Region1.Bodhgaya : Baghelkhand2.Khajuraho : Bundelkhand3.Shirdi : Vidarbha4.Nasik (Nashik) : Malwa5.Tirupati : RayalaseemaWhich of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

1. A

   1, 2 and 4

   Pair 1 (Bodhgaya : Baghelkhand) is wrong — Bodh Gaya lies in Magadha (Gaya district, Bihar), not Baghelkhand. Pair 4 (Nashik : Malwa) is also wrong — Nashik is in Maharashtra, not Malwa of Madhya Pradesh. Even though Khajuraho is in Bundelkhand, 1, 2 and 4 is not the key.

2. B

   2, 3, 4 and 5

   This option keeps the two wrong pairs Shirdi–Vidarbha and Nashik–Malwa (Shirdi is in Ahmednagar, not Vidarbha) while adding Tirupati–Rayalaseema. 2, 3, 4 and 5 is therefore not the key.

3. C

   2 and 5 only

   Khajuraho is in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, and Tirupati lies in Rayalaseema (Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh). Bodh Gaya is not Baghelkhand; Shirdi is not Vidarbha; Nashik is not Malwa. Only pairs 2 and 5 are correctly matched, so (c) is the official key.

4. D

   1, 3, 4 and 5

   This mix includes the three wrong regional tags for Bodh Gaya, Shirdi and Nashik. 1, 3, 4 and 5 is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) 2 and 5 only. Read the stem list as given: Bodhgaya is Magadha, not Baghelkhand; Khajuraho is Bundelkhand; Shirdi is in the Ahmednagar plateau, not Vidarbha; Nashik is in north-western Maharashtra, not Malwa; Tirupati is Rayalaseema. Regional-geography matching in Prelims often plants one famous temple in the wrong historic region. Only Khajuraho–Bundelkhand and Tirupati–Rayalaseema survive.
