Which of the following pairs are correctly matched? Waterfalls River 1. Kapildhara Falls Godavari 2. Jog Falls Sharavati 3. Sivasamudram Falls Cauvery Select the correct answer using the code given below: Code:

The correct choice is 2 (2 and 3 only). Jog Falls is formed by the Sharavathi (Sharavathi/Sharavati) River in Shimoga district, Karnataka, so pair 2 is correct [1]. Kapildhara (Kapil Dhara) is in the Amarkantak area and is a fall on the Narmada (not on the Godavari), so pair 1 is incorrect. Shivanasamudra (Sivasamudram) comprises the Gaganchukki and Bharachukki falls at Shivanasamudra near Bengaluru and these falls are on the Kaveri/Cauvery; thus pair 3 is correct (location citation for Shivanasamudra [2] and Kaveri/Cauvery basin context [2]). Therefore only pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
