Match List I (Valley) with List II (State) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

(Valley) | (State)
I. Markha Valley | (A) Sikkim
II. Dzukou Valley | (B) Himachal Pradesh
III. Sangla Valley | (C) Jammu and Kashmir
IV. Yumthang Valley | (D) Nagaland

The 2006 UPSC prelims match question maps the four valleys to states such that I → C, II → D, III → B and IV → A, i.e. option 4. The reproduced question paper shows the valleys (Dzukou, Sangla, Yumthang, etc.) aligned with the states (Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Nagaland) in the pattern corresponding to I–C, II–D, III–B, IV–A . Thus option 4 is the correct choice for the matching given in the original paper .
