{'multipurpose project': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'thermal power station': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'irrigation project': [0, 1, 2, 1], 'electric project': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'sabarigiri': [0, 1, 0, 2], 'idukki': [4, 1, 0, 0], 'iv': [6, 110, 77, 8]}

The question asks which pairs of project types and their corresponding locations in India are correctly matched.

Option I "Idukki ... Thermal power station" is incorrect. Idukki is known for its hydroelectric project, not a thermal power station, hence is a mismatch.

Option II "Sabarigiri ... Hydro-electric project" is correct. The Sabarigiri Hydroelectric Project is the second largest hydroelectric project in Kerala, India.

Option III "Ghatprabha ... Irrigation project" is also correct. Ghataprabha is a river project in the state of Karnataka, India which is primarily used for irrigation purposes.

Lastly, Option IV "Ramganga ... Multipurpose project" is correct. Ramganga project is a multipurpose scheme catering to the needs of irrigation, hydroelectric power, and drinking water located in Uttar Pradesh, India.

So, the correct pairings are options II, III, and IV. Hence, the correct answer is option 1 "II, III and IV".
