{'many pairs': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'pair': [7, 0, 1, 12], 'reservoirs': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'telangana': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'madhya pradesh': [16, 0, 16, 28], 'chhattisgarh': [0, 0, 1, 2]}

The question presents four pairs of reservoirs and states and asks how many of the pairs are not correctly matched.

1. Ghataprabha Reservoir - Telangana: This pair is incorrectly matched. The Ghataprabha Reservoir is located in the state of Karnataka, not Telangana.

2. Gandhi Sagar - Madhya Pradesh: This pair is correctly matched. The Gandhi Sagar Dam is indeed located in the state of Madhya Pradesh.

3. Indira Sagar - Andhra Pradesh: This pair is incorrectly matched. The Indira Sagar Dam is situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh, not Andhra Pradesh.

4. Maithon - Chhattisgarh: This pair is also incorrectly matched. The Maithon Dam is located in the state of Jharkhand, not Chhattisgarh.

So, according to the above explanation, three pairs are not correctly matched which is option 3.
