Q1. Select the incorrectly matched pair of biosphere reserve and its region.
Explanation
Kanha Biosphere Reserve is associated with Madhya Pradesh, not Uttar Pradesh, so the Kanha-Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh pairing is the incorrect match identified by the official key. Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve belongs to the Nilgiri region across the Western Ghats, including Karnataka and Kerala in the printed pairing. The Desert or Thar Desert Biosphere Reserve is associated with Rajasthan. Manas Biosphere Reserve is correctly associated with Assam. Therefore, the pair that wrongly adds Uttar Pradesh to Kanha is the required answer.
