Q1Which one of the following pairs of shifting cultivation and area is not correctly matched?
Explanation
Kumari cultivation is associated with the Western Ghats, especially Kerala and nearby southern regions, so linking it with Madhya Pradesh is not the correct match. Ponam is a local name used in Kerala for shifting cultivation. Podu is the well-known term used in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Jhum is the standard term for shifting cultivation in Assam and other north-eastern areas. The question asks for the incorrectly matched pair, so the mismatch is Kumari with Madhya Pradesh.
