Consider the following pairs of islands and related water bodies:
I. Kharg — Persian Gulf
II. Vaan — Gulf of Mannar
III. Tuti — Red Sea
IV. Qeshm — Arabian Sea
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer: (b)
Only pairs I and II are correct. Kharg Island lies in the Persian Gulf, off Iran's coast — correct. Vaan Island lies in the Gulf of Mannar, near Rameswaram (India) — correct. Tuti Island is in Sudan, at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile in Khartoum, not the Red Sea — incorrect. Qeshm Island lies in the Persian Gulf/Strait of Hormuz, not the Arabian Sea — incorrect. So exactly 2 pairs are correctly matched.
