Correct answer: (b) Only two
Explanation
- A
Only one
Only one. Asmaka–Godavari holds, and one more pair is keyed with it.
- B
Only two
Only two. Asmaka on the Godavari and Kosala on the Sarayu are the scored matches. Kamboja is not Vipas; Avanti is not Mahanadi.
- C
Only three
Only three. That keeps a false river pairing.
- D
All the four
All four. Two pairs fail.
Summary. Official Set A key is (b) only two. Asmaka (Assaka) sits on the Godavari. Kosala is the Sarayu country. Kamboja is the north-west, not the Beas (Vipas). Avanti is the Malwa–Narmada/Chambal world, not the Mahanadi. So two pairs are right, not one and not three.
