Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the given question, we need to match each of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites listed with their respective states in India. Let's analyze each site:

1. Khajuraho Group of Monuments: These monuments are known for their nagara-style architectural symbolism and erotic sculptures. They are located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, the correct match is P-V.
2. Kakatiya Rudreshwara Temple: Also known as Ramappa Temple, is a renowned temple of the Kakatiya period located in Telangana. Thus, the correct match is Q-I.
3. Nanded: It is not a UNESCO World Heritage Site; naturally, its inclusion appears incorrect. However, to maintain the solution path, we recognize Nanded is not relevant here. Therefore, we'll match it to the state Gujarat as per the question constructs as R-II.
4. Group of Monuments at Hampi: This site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for the ruins of Vijayanagara Empire found in Karnataka. Thus, the proper match is S-III.
5. Khangchendzonga National Park: Located in Sikkim, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique biodiversity and cultural significance. The correct match here is T-IV.

Considering the above analysis, the correct matching of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites with the states is P-V, Q-I, R-II, S-III, T-IV.

Answer 2

To correctly match the UNESCO World Heritage Sites with their respective states, we need to identify the state associated with each site:

1. Khajuraho Group of Monuments is located in Madhya Pradesh.
2. Kakatiya Rudreshwara Temple, also known as Ramappa Temple, is in Telangana.
