Answer 1

The correct option is D 4 and 5 only

Explanation:

• Pairs 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect. The state of Gwalior was ruled by the Scindia family and the present Minister of civil aviation Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia is from that lineage only. The state of Indore was ruled by the Holkars and that of Baroda by Gaekwads
• Pairs 4 and 5 are correctly matched as Nagpur state was ruled by the Bhonsles and that of Poona by the Peshwas.
