Which of the following pair is not correct?

Question

The famous instrumentalist Bismillah Khan was associated with which of the following instrument?

Answer 1

This is a matching question about Indian classical musicians, so the way to solve it is to check each name against the instrument or art form that musician is actually famous for.

Shahid Parvez Khan has spent his career performing on the sitar and belongs to a well respected sitar playing family, so that pairing checks out. Rashid Khan is one of India's most celebrated classical singers, trained in the Hindustani vocal tradition, so pairing him with vocal music is also correct. Ayaan Ali Bangash comes from a family of sarod players and is himself a noted sarod performer, so his pairing with sarod is accurate as well.

The last pair is where the problem lies. The musician named here is actually known as a master of the bansuri, the Indian bamboo flute, and has performed and recorded widely as a flautist. He is not known as a guitarist at all, which means labeling him with the guitar is factually wrong.

Since three pairs hold up under scrutiny and only the fourth one links the musician to the wrong instrument, that fourth pair is the incorrect one asked for in the question.

So the answer is option 4, because this musician is actually a flute player, not a guitarist.
