Consider the following pairs : 1. Rewalsar lake—Himachal Pradesh 2. Nakki lake—Madhya Pradesh 3. Renuka lake—Uttarakhand Which of the above pairs is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct pair is Rewalsar Lake, which is located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh [t2][t4]. It is a sacred site for Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, often referred to as Tso Pema [t4][t7]. Pair 2 is incorrect because Nakki Lake is situated in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, not Madhya Pradesh [t6]. It is a popular tourist attraction and holds significance in Hindu legend [t6]. Pair 3 is also incorrect; Renuka Lake is located in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, not Uttarakhand [c1][t2]. It is the largest natural lake in Himachal Pradesh and is named after the goddess Renuka [c1][t1]. Therefore, only the first pair is correctly matched with its respective state.
