Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
Pandharpur lies on the Chandrabhaga (Bhima) River and Tiruchirappalli on the Cauvery, so pairs 1 and 2 are correct. Hampi is situated on the banks of the Tungabhadra—not the Malaprabha—river, making pair 3 incorrect. Hence only 1 & 2 match.
