Which one of the following pairs of Deccan Sultanates and their respective regions is not correctly matched?

The Deccan Sultanates emerged following the disintegration of the Bahmani Kingdom. The Nizam Shahi dynasty was established in Ahmadnagar, not Bijapur [3]. Malik Ahmad Nizam-ul-Mulk Bahri founded the Ahmadnagar Sultanate in 1490 [3]. In contrast, the Bijapur Sultanate was ruled by the Adil Shahi dynasty, founded by Yusuf Adil Shah [4]. The other pairs are correctly matched: the Barid Shahis ruled from Bidar [1], the Qutb Shahis from Golkonda [4], and the Imad Shahis from Berar [1]. The Nizam Shahis of Ahmadnagar were eventually subdued by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1636 [1]. Therefore, the pair 'Nizam Shahis: Bijapur' is incorrect as the Nizam Shahis were associated with Ahmadnagar, while Bijapur was the seat of the Adil Shahis.
