Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Only two pairs
Pair 1 (Dhauli – Odisha) and Pair 2 (Erragudi – Andhra Pradesh) are correctly matched. Jaugada lies in Odisha, not Madhya Pradesh, while Kalsi is in present-day Uttarakhand, not Karnataka, so pairs 3 and 4 are wrong; therefore exactly two pairs are correct.
