|---|---|
| 1. Hokera Wetland | Punjab |
| 2. Renuka Wetland | Himachal Pradesh |
| 3. Rudrasagar Lake | Tripura |
| 4. Sasthamkotta Lake | Tamil Nadu |
How many pairs given above are correctly matched?
Correct Answer :
Only two pairs
Solution :
The correct option is Only two pairs.
Let us analyze each pair individually to determine if they are correctly matched:
1. Hokera Wetland - Punjab (Incorrectly Matched)
Hokera Wetland (also known as Hokersar) is located in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, not in Punjab. It is a natural perennial wetland contiguous to the Jhelum basin and is designated as a Ramsar site.
2. Renuka Wetland - Himachal Pradesh (Correctly Matched)
Renuka Wetland is located in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh. It is a natural wetland with freshwater springs and inland subterranean karst formations, and it is the largest lake in Himachal Pradesh.
3. Rudrasagar Lake - Tripura (Correctly Matched)
Rudrasagar Lake, also known as Rudijala, is located in the Melaghar block of Tripura. It is a lowland sedimentation reservoir fed by three perennial streams discharging to the River Gomati, and it is a designated Ramsar site.
4. Sasthamkotta Lake - Tamil Nadu (Incorrectly Matched)
Sasthamkotta Lake (or Sasthamcotta Lake) is the largest freshwater lake in Kerala, located in the Kollam district, not in Tamil Nadu. It is also designated as a Ramsar site.
Out of the four pairs, only Pair 2 (Renuka Wetland - Himachal Pradesh) and Pair 3 (Rudrasagar Lake - Tripura) are correctly matched. Therefore, exactly two pairs are correct.
