Lakes of India MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

Kolleru Lake is a large freshwater lake in Andhra Pradesh, lying between the Krishna and Godavari delta regions. This location makes Andhra Pradesh the correct state. Odisha has important lakes and lagoons such as Chilika, but Kolleru is not located there. Rajasthan has inland saline and freshwater lakes, yet Kolleru is not part of its lake system. Tamil Nadu has major wetlands and coastal water bodies, but it is not the state in which Kolleru Lake is situated.

Explanation

Pulicat Lake is not in Karnataka; it lies mainly along the Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu coast. That makes the Pulicat-Karnataka pair the incorrectly matched one. Lonar Lake is in Maharashtra and is famous as a crater lake. Chilka Lake is in Odisha and is a major brackish water lagoon. Bhimtal is in Uttarakhand, in the Kumaon region. Since the question asks for the pair that is not correctly matched, Pulicat with Karnataka is the required answer.
