- ANizam Shahis : Bijapur
- BBarid Shahis : Bidar
- CQutb Shahis : Golkonda
- DImad Shahis : Berar
Explanation
The Nizam Shahis ruled Ahmadnagar, not Bijapur — Bijapur was ruled by the Adil Shahis. The Barid Shahis ruled Bidar, the Qutb Shahis ruled Golconda, and the Imad Shahis ruled Berar, all correctly matched. Hence the Nizam Shahis : Bijapur pair is the one not correctly matched.
