Ghataprabha reservoir lies in Belagavi district of Karnataka, not Telangana, so Pair 1 is wrong. Gandhi Sagar reservoir is on the Chambal River in Madhya Pradesh, so Pair 2 is correct. Indira Sagar reservoir (on the Narmada) is in Madhya Pradesh, not Andhra Pradesh, so Pair 3 is wrong. Maithon reservoir is in Jharkhand/West Bengal along the Barakar River, not Chhattisgarh, so Pair 4 is wrong. Thus three of the four pairs are incorrectly matched.
