Question map
Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Explanation
The pair 'Hyundai: Germany' is incorrectly matched. Hyundai is a prominent South Korean brand, not German [t4]. Established in South Korea, it has become a globally renowned brand with significant commercial ties to India [t6]. In contrast, the other pairs are correctly matched to their respective countries of origin. Fiat is an Italian automotive pioneer founded in Turin in 1899, with its name standing for 'Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino' [t2][t8]. Nissan is a major Japanese automaker that has historically collaborated with Indian entities like the Vehicles Factory in Jabalpur [c1][c3]. Toyota is also a leading Japanese manufacturer, recognized as one of the world's largest automakers [t6][t10]. While Germany is home to brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Hyundai remains a cornerstone of the South Korean automotive industry [t4][t5].
