Consider the following Pairs:
| Medieval Indian State | Present Region |
| 1) Champaka | Central India |
| 2) Durgara | Jammu |
| 3) Kuluta | Malabar |
Which of the above pairs is/ are correctly matched?
- 1 and 2
- 2 only
- 1 and 3
- 3 only
Explanation
Only pair 2 is correct
- Pair 1 is incorrect as Champaka (Chamba) was a medieval state in the Western Himalayas, corresponding to present-day Himachal Pradesh, not Central India. Pair 2 is correct since Durgara refers to the Jammu region, associated with the origins of the Dogra people. Pair 3 is incorrect because Kuluta was located in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh, whereas Malabar denotes the southwestern coastal region of present-day Kerala. Therefore, only pair 2 is correctly matched.
