Only one pair
Incorrect AnswerOnly two pairs
Correct AnswerAll three pairs
Incorrect AnswerNone of the pairs
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Burzahom: It is an archaeological site located in Kashmir, India, and it is well known for its Neolithic stone tools, pit dwellings, and burial practices, not for rock-cut shrines. So, the first pair is not correctly matched.
Chandraketugarh: This is an archaeological site in West Bengal, India, famous for its terracotta art that dates back to the pre-Mauryan to Pala period. The site has yielded a large number of terracotta plaques, figurines, and other artefacts, so the second pair is correctly matched.
Ganeshwar: Situated in Rajasthan, India, Ganeshwar is known for its copper artefacts. Excavations have revealed copper mines and remnants of a civilization that can be dated to the Harappan period, and the site is noted for its extensive copper mining and usage. Thus, the third pair is correctly matched.
only the second and third pairs (Chandraketugarh and Ganeshwar) are correctly matched
