Correct Answer: (a) 1 only

Srisailam’s Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga is situated in the Nallamala Hills of Andhra Pradesh, making pair 1 correct ([mapsofindia.com](https://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/india/jyotirlinga.htm?utm_source=openai)). Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga stands on Mandhata island in the Narmada River within the Vindhyan/Satpura system—not the Satmala Hills—so pair 2 is incorrect ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omkareshwar_Temple?utm_source=openai)). Pushkar town borders the Aravalli Range, not the Mahadeo Hills, so pair 3 is also incorrect ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushkar)).
