Which of the following festival-state pairs is NOT correct?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. Baisakhi — Uttar PradeshB. बैसाखी — उत्तर प्रदेश
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Baisakhi — Uttar Pradesh because this is the incorrect pair according to the source.
The book supplies the correct festival-state associations directly in its explanation: Gudi Padwa — Maharashtra; Baisakhi — Punjab; Chhath Puja — Bihar; Durga Puja — West Bengal.
Therefore option (b) is incorrect because Baisakhi should be paired with Punjab rather than Uttar Pradesh.
This is an especially useful question for competitive examination preparation because it provides four state-festival associations in a single MCQ.
Students should not revise only the wrong pair; all four correct combinations should be memorised.
The useful chain is: Gudi Padwa — Maharashtra; Baisakhi — Punjab; Chhath Puja — Bihar; Durga Puja — West Bengal.
Negative questions containing words such as NOT, INCORRECT or wrongly matched require careful reading because students may recognise a correct association and accidentally select it.
Here, three pairs are correct and one is deliberately mismatched.
The previous Ugadi question in the same source also mentions Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, providing reinforcement for that association.
Similarly, the Baisakhi-Punjab connection should be clearly separated from Uttar Pradesh.
The source gives only the state pairings in this explanation and does not expand on dates, rituals or agricultural significance of each festival.
Therefore those additional details are not inserted as if they were book-derived facts.
For exam revision, convert this question into a four-pair memory set.
Since Baisakhi belongs with Punjab according to the source, Baisakhi — Uttar Pradesh is the NOT correct pair.
Hence option (b) is correct.
सही उत्तर Baisakhi — Uttar Pradesh है क्योंकि source के अनुसार यह गलत pair है। पुस्तक explanation में चारों correct festival-state associations सीधे देती है: Gudi Padwa — Maharashtra; Baisakhi — Punjab; Chhath Puja — Bihar; Durga Puja — West Bengal। इसलिए option (b) गलत है क्योंकि Baisakhi को Uttar Pradesh के बजाय Punjab से pair किया जाना चाहिए। यह competitive examination के लिए बहुत उपयोगी question है क्योंकि एक ही MCQ से चार festival-state combinations revise हो जाते हैं। केवल incorrect pair याद न करें; सभी correct pairs याद रखें: Gudi Padwa — Maharashtra; Baisakhi — Punjab; Chhath Puja — Bihar; Durga Puja — West Bengal। NOT, INCORRECT या wrongly matched जैसे negative wording वाले questions में विशेष सावधानी जरूरी है क्योंकि student सही association पहचानकर गलती से उसी option को select कर सकता है। यहां तीन pairs सही हैं और एक deliberately mismatched है। इसी source में पिछले Ugadi question में भी Maharashtra को Gudi Padwa से जोड़ा गया है, इसलिए यह association reinforce होता है। Baisakhi-Punjab association को Uttar Pradesh से स्पष्ट रूप से अलग रखें। Source इस explanation में dates, rituals या agricultural significance की details नहीं देता; इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। इस question को four-pair revision set की तरह याद करें। चूंकि source के अनुसार Baisakhi — Punjab सही association है, इसलिए Baisakhi — Uttar Pradesh गलत pair है। अतः विकल्प (b) सही उत्तर है।
