Consider the following pairs : Literary Work Author 1. Rigarthadipika : Madhava Yogi 2. Kataka : Venkata Madhava 3. Damayanti-Katha : Trivikrama Bhatta 4. Yashastilaka Champu : Somadeva How many pairs given above are correctly matched?

The literary works and their authors are evaluated as follows: 'Damayanti-Katha' (also known as Nala Champu) was authored by Trivikrama Bhatta, a 10th-century poet in the court of Rashtrakuta King Indra III [1]. 'Yashastilaka Champu' was written by the Jain poet Somadeva (Somadevasuri) in the 10th century under the patronage of the Chalukya ruler Arikesari II [1]. These two pairs (3 and 4) are correctly matched. However, 'Rigarthadipika' is a famous commentary on the Rigveda authored by Venkata Madhava (also known as Madhava), not Madhava Yogi. 'Kataka' is a commentary on the Ramayana, but it is typically attributed to Madhava Yogindra (Madhava Yogi), not Venkata Madhava. Therefore, pairs 1 and 2 are incorrectly matched as their authors have been swapped. Since only pairs 3 and 4 are correct, the total number of correctly matched pairs is 2.
