In India, the Chaunsa kind of mango is regarded as one of the best due to its flavour, scent, and luscious pulp, mainly grown in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Hence pair I is incorrectly matched.
The renowned Totapuri Mango is mostly grown in Andhra Pradesh. The Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka also cultivate the Totapuri Mango. The mangoes in question are huge and have a golden yellow colour. Hence pair II is incorrectly matched.
The Gir Kesar mango, commonly known as Kesar, is a mango cultivar grown in Gujarat, western India, near Girnar. Hence pair III is correctly matched.
Alphonso is grown in Devgad and Ratnagiri along the 200-kilometer Konkan coastline in Maharashtra. Hence pair IV is correctly matched.
