0,87,76,25,34,87,17

keywords: 

{'bodhgaya': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'baghelkhand': [0, 0, 1, 3], 'malwa rayalaseema': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'bundelkhand': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'nashik': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'tirupati': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'nasik': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'khajuraho': [3, 1, 1, 5], 'famous place': [0, 0, 1, 3]}

If the answer for this question is Option 3, then the correctly matched pairs would be 2 and 5 only, and the reasoning for each pair would be:

2. Khajuraho: Khajuraho is a famous place located in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is known for its medieval Hindu and Jain temples, which are famous for their intricate and erotic carvings. The pairing of Khajuraho with the region of Bundelkhand is correct as Khajuraho is located in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh.

5. Tirupati: Tirupati is a famous place located in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is a significant pilgrimage site for Hindus as it is home to the Sri Venkateswara Temple, one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the world. The pairing of Tirupati with the region of Rayalaseema is correct as Tirupati is located in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh.

Therefore, if the answer is Option 3, then only the pairs of Khajuraho with Bundelkhand and Tirupati with Rayalaseema are correctly matched, and the pairs of Bodhgaya with Baghelkhand, Shirdi with Vidarbha, and Nasik with Malwa are incorrectly matched.
