Question

    Which "state-major language" pairing is INCORRECTLY

    matched?
    A Manipur – Meitei Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Kerala – Kannada Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Meghalaya – Khasi Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Andhra Pradesh – Telugu Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The incorrect pairing is Kerala – Kannada. Malayalam, not Kannada, is Kerala's official language. Malayalam is widely spoken throughout Kerala and belongs to the Dravidian language family. Kannada is primarily spoken in the neighboring state of Karnataka. All other pairings are correct: Meitei (also called Manipuri) is the predominant language in Manipur; Khasi is one of Meghalaya's major languages along with Garo; and Telugu is Andhra Pradesh's official language and one of the major Dravidian languages.
