  1. ADam/Lake: Satluj
  2. BGovind Sagar: KrishnaCorrect
  3. CKolleru Lake: Tapi
  4. DUkai Reservoir: Jhelum

Explanation

The question asks for the pair that is not correctly matched.

Option B is the correct answer because Govind Sagar is a reservoir located in Himachal Pradesh on the Satluj River, not the Krishna River. It was formed by the Bhakra Dam.

The Krishna River is associated with reservoirs like Nagarjuna Sagar and Srisailam. Therefore, the pairing of Govind Sagar with Krishna is incorrect.

For the other options: A is a general reference to the Satluj river system which feeds Govind Sagar. C Kolleru Lake is a freshwater lake in Andhra Pradesh located between the Krishna and Godavari deltas. D Ukai Reservoir is correctly located on the Tapi River in Gujarat.

Note: In some versions of this specific question, multiple options may appear mismatched due to typographical errors in the source, but Govind Sagar is definitively linked to the Satluj River.
