Explanation
Lakshmikarna (Laxmikarna) was a Kalachuri king of Tripuri, not a Pala, so pair 1 is wrongly matched. Bhima I was a Solanki (Chalukya) king of Gujarat (r. 1022-1064), so pair 2 is correctly matched. Jayapala was a Hindu Shahi (Shahiya) king, so pair 3 is correctly matched. Lalitaditya Muktapida belonged to the Karkota dynasty of Kashmir, not the Utpala dynasty, so pair 4 is wrongly matched. Hence two pairs are correctly matched.
