Which one of the following lakes and their locations is INCORRECTLY matched?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Chilika-Andhra Pradesh

The incorrectly matched pair is Chilika - Andhra Pradesh. Chilika Lake is actually located in Odisha, not Andhra Pradesh. It is Asia's largest brackish water lagoon and a prominent Ramsar site.

Other options:

  1. Lonar - Maharashtra: Correct. Lonar Lake is a saline soda lake in Maharashtra, formed by a meteorite impact.

  2. Loktak - Manipur: Correct. Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, famous for its floating phumdis.

  3. Roopkund - Uttarakhand: Correct. Roopkund is a glacial lake in Uttarakhand, known for its ancient human skeletons.

Thus, the error lies in Chilika's location, which is Odisha, not Andhra Pradesh.
