Correct Answer: Option (A) — 1 and 2 only

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified
  1. Pair 1 is correctly matched: Pandharpur in Maharashtra is situated on the banks of the Bhima River, which is locally called Chandrabhaga due to its crescent-like curve.
  2. Pair 2 is correctly matched: Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) in Tamil Nadu is situated on the banks of the Cauvery River.
  3. Pair 3 is incorrectly matched: Hampi (the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire) is located on the southern bank of the Tungabhadra River, not the Malaprabha River.
Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

Hampi's historical association with the Tungabhadra River is a standard landmark fact, which immediately eliminates options (b), (c), and (d).
