Only two pairs are given correctly matched:

  1. Nannuka - Chandela
  2. Jayashakti - Paramara

Explanation:

  1. Nannuka was a prominent ruler of the Chandela dynasty of Central India, who ruled around the 9th century CE. The Chandela dynasty was known for its architectural marvels like the Khajuraho temples, which are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
  2. Jayashakti was a notable ruler of the Paramara dynasty of Central India, who ruled in the 11th century CE. The Paramara dynasty was known for its patronage of Sanskrit literature and art, and for their architectural works like the Bhojeshwar temple.

The other two pairs are not correctly matched: 3. Nagabhatall is not associated with Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty. Nagabhatall was a Chalukya king who ruled from Badami in present-day Karnataka in the 8th century CE.

  1. Bhoja was a notable ruler of the Paramara dynasty, not Rashtrakuta dynasty. He ruled in the 11th century CE from his capital at Dhar, and was known for his patronage of art, literature, and science.
