Consider the following pairs: Water Falls States 1. Jog Falls : Karnataka 2. Kaveri Falls : Andhra Pradesh 3. Bhaksu Nag : Uttaranchal Which of the above is/are correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Based on the provided evidence, Pair 1 is correctly matched as Jog Falls is located on the Sharavathi River in the Shimoga District of Karnataka [c1][c2][t6]. It is one of India's highest waterfalls and is also known as Gersoppa Falls [c3][t4]. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched; while the Kaveri (Cauvery) river flows through Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the famous falls associated with it, such as Shivanasamudra, are in Karnataka, not Andhra Pradesh [t7]. Pair 3 is also incorrectly matched; Bhaksu Nag (or Bhagsu Nag) waterfall is located near McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh, not Uttaranchal (Uttarakhand) [t10]. The context confirms Bhagsu Nag's association with the Tibetan culture of McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh [t9]. Therefore, only the first pair is accurate.
