Consider the following pairs with reference to Thermal Power Plants and their location in respective states in India : Thermal Power Plant Located in State I. Panki - Uttar Pradesh II. Parli - Karnataka III. Vijayawada - Telangana IV. Vanakbari - Gujarat How many of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The analysis of the thermal power plant locations reveals that two pairs are correctly matched. Pair I is correct; the Panki Thermal Power Station is located in the Kanpur district of Uttar Pradesh [3]. Pair IV is also correct; the Vanakbori (alternatively spelled Wankbori) Thermal Power Station is situated in Gujarat [2]. However, Pair II is incorrect because the Parli Thermal Power Station is located in the Beed district of Maharashtra, not Karnataka. Pair III is also incorrect; while the Vijayawada Thermal Power Station (Dr. Narla Tata Rao Thermal Power Station) is located in Andhra Pradesh [2], the question incorrectly assigns it to Telangana. Although Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are sometimes grouped in older records, they are distinct states, and Vijayawada remains in Andhra Pradesh. Thus, only Panki and Vanakbori are correctly matched to their respective states.
