💡 Analysis & Explanation
Pair 1 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. The massive Ghataprabha reservoir and its associated dam are situated on the Ghataprabha River squarely within the Belagavi district of Karnataka, not Telangana.
Pair 2 Analysis ▼
Correct. The Gandhi Sagar Dam is prominently and correctly located on the Chambal River in the Mandsaur district of Madhya Pradesh.
Pair 3 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. The Indira Sagar Project is a highly strategic, massive multipurpose project built across the Narmada River, and it is firmly located in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh, completely removed from Andhra Pradesh.
Pair 4 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. The Maithon Dam is structurally built on the Barakar River and is famously located in the Dhanbad district of Jharkhand, sitting completely outside the borders of Chhattisgarh.
Conclusion ▼
Exactly three pairs (1, 3, and 4) are completely incorrectly matched.
