Explanation

Kharg Island lies in the Persian Gulf (I correct), and Vaan Island lies in the Gulf of Mannar off Tamil Nadu (II correct). Tuti Island is at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile at Khartoum, Sudan — not in the Red Sea (III wrong). Qeshm Island lies in the Strait of Hormuz/Persian Gulf — not in the Arabian Sea (IV wrong). Hence 2 pairs are correctly matched.
