Answer

All four pairs

Explanation

Three pairs are incorrectly matched.

Ghataprabha is located in Karnataka, not Telangana. Indira Sagar is in Madhya Pradesh, not Andhra Pradesh. Maithon is located in Jharkhand, not Chhattisgarh. Only Gandhi Sagar is correctly matched to Madhya Pradesh (Chambal river). The question specifically asks for the number of pairs that are not correctly matched.

Always double-check whether a matching question asks for "correctly matched" or "not correctly matched" pairs.

Answer: (c).
