Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I (Town) A. Betul B. Jagdalpur C. Jabalpur D. Ujjain List-II (River) 1. Indravati 2. Narmada 3. Shipra 4. Tapti
aA-1 B-4 C-2 D-3
bA-4 B-1 C-2 D-3
cA-4 B-1 C-3 D-2
dA-1 B-4 C-3 D-2
AnswerThe answer is (b).
Betul district is where the Tapti rises, Jagdalpur stands on the Indravati, Jabalpur is on the Narmada, and Ujjain is on the Shipra. So A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3. Ujjain with the Shipra and Jabalpur with the Narmada are the easiest anchors.
- A. Betul is linked with the Tapti (4).
- B. Jagdalpur is on the Indravati (1).
- C. Jabalpur is on the Narmada (2).
- D. Ujjain is on the Shipra (3).
Why each option is right or wrong

- (b) Correct: Betul-Tapti, Jagdalpur-Indravati, Jabalpur-Narmada, Ujjain-Shipra.
- (c) Puts Jabalpur on the Shipra and Ujjain on the Narmada; swapped.
- (d) Gets all four wrong: swaps Betul with Jagdalpur and Jabalpur with Ujjain.
