LIST-I (State)	LIST-II (Folk Dance)
A. Assam	I. Lavni
B. Tamil Nadu	II. Kathakali
C. Kerala	III. Bharatnatyam
D. Maharashtra	IV. Bihu

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:

• This is a state-to-folk-dance matching question, so each state in List-I has to be paired with its correct traditional dance from List-II.
• Assam's folk dance is Bihu, Tamil Nadu's classical dance is Bharatnatyam, Kerala's classical dance-drama is Kathakali, and Maharashtra's folk dance is Lavni.
• Once each state is paired with its real dance, the letters and Roman numerals just need to be matched to the option that lists exactly this combination.

Step 1: Recall the correct dance for each state one at a time.
A. Assam pairs with Bihu (IV), B. Tamil Nadu pairs with Bharatnatyam (III), C. Kerala pairs with Kathakali (II), D. Maharashtra pairs with Lavni (I).

Step 2: Write out the full correct sequence.
This gives A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I as the true matching.

Step 3: Compare this sequence against each option.
Option 1 wrongly gives A-I and D-III, option 3 wrongly swaps C and D, and option 4 wrongly gives A-III and B-IV, so all three of these mismatch on at least one pair.

Step 4: Confirm the matching option.
Only the option reading A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I matches the correct state-dance pairs exactly.

Final Answer: A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
