The pair of folk dance forms and states that is not correctly matched is:

Korku : Maharashtra

The Korku tribe primarily resides in the central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and parts of Chhattisgarh. They have their own distinct culture and traditions, including their folk dances. Therefore, Korku folk dance is not specifically associated with Maharashtra.

The correct association of the other folk dance forms and states is as follows:

Jhummar: Punjab and Haryana

Thali: Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh

Mukna: Manipur

Jhummar is a popular folk dance form performed in the regions of Punjab and Haryana. Thali is a traditional folk dance of Uttarakhand and is also performed in some parts of Himachal Pradesh. Mukna is a traditional folk dance of Manipur, which is known for its graceful movements and vibrant costumes.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Korku : Maharashtra (incorrectly matched)
