The correct answer is option 1 - Nizam Shahis : Bijapur. This pair is not correctly matched because the Nizam Shahi dynasty was actually located in Ahmadnagar, not Bijapur.

Option 2 - Barid Shahis : Bidar is correctly matched. The Barid Shahi dynasty ruled from Bidar, which was their capital.

Option 3 - Qutb Shahis : Golkonda is correctly matched. The Qutb Shahi dynasty was based in Golkonda, which is now known as Hyderabad.

Option 4 - Imad Shahis : Berar is correctly matched. The Imad Shahi dynasty ruled over Berar, a region that is now part of the state of Maharashtra.

In summary, only option 1 is incorrect as the location of the Nizam Shahi dynasty was in Ahmadnagar, not Bijapur.
