(A) Nabanna	(I) Kerala
(B) Onam	(II) Assam
(C) Pongal	(III) West Bengal
(D) Magh Bihu	(IV) Tamil Nadu

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

For matching questions, try to identify one or two pairs you are absolutely sure about. This can help you eliminate incorrect options quickly. For instance, knowing Onam is from Kerala (B-I) immediately narrows down the choices to options (C).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Phase 1: Conceptual Grasp
This task involves correlating harvest festivals from List-I with their primary celebration states in List-II.
Phase 2: Detailed Elaboration
Each festival must be matched to its respective state:
(A) Nabanna, a harvest festival, is observed in West Bengal. Thus, (A) aligns with (III).
(B) Onam, the prominent harvest festival of Kerala, corresponds to (I).
(C) Pongal, a multi-day harvest festival, is celebrated in Tamil Nadu. Consequently, (C) matches (IV).
(D) Magh Bihu (also known as Bhogali Bihu), a harvest festival, is observed in Assam. Therefore, (D) pairs with (II).
Phase 3: Assembling the Correct Sequence
The resultant pairings are as follows:
A - III
B - I
C - IV
D - II
This configuration aligns with option (C).
Phase 4: Conclusive Determination
The accurate correspondence is established as (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II).
