Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Concept: a newspaper–personality pair is judged only by attribution — the specific individual who founded, owned or edited that journal. A shared city, a shared language or an overlapping decade creates no link, since several papers in the same language could run from the same town under entirely different proprietors. Each pair is therefore tested on its own against the paper’s actual founder or editor, and a “not correctly matched” stem is settled by counting how many of the listed pairs fail that test.

Application to the listed pairs:

1. Young India — Mahatma Gandhi: Young India was the English-language weekly that M. K. Gandhi took over in 1919 and edited from Ahmedabad until 1932, running it alongside the Gujarati Navajivan as the chief vehicle of the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience programmes. This attribution holds.

2. Indian Spectator — Surendranath Banerjee: the weekly was launched at Bombay in 1880 and is identified with the Parsi social reformer Behramji Merwanji Malabari, who bought it, revived it and edited it for decades before it was merged into the Voice of India. Surendranath Banerjee’s own paper was The Bengalee, which he owned and edited from Calcutta from 1879. The pair ties a Bombay reformer’s weekly to a Bengal leader and fails.

3. Advocate of India — Dadabhai Naoroji: this was an English evening newspaper of Bombay’s Anglo-Indian press, founded by Dr Thomas Blaney and edited in later years by men such as Pat Lovett. Dadabhai Naoroji’s own journalistic ventures were the Gujarati Rast Goftar, founded in 1851, and the Voice of India, which he established in 1883. This pair fails as well.

Cross-check: Two of the three listed pairs — the Indian Spectator pairing and the Advocate of India pairing — break down, and only the Young India pairing survives. Since the stem asks which pair is not correctly matched and two of them qualify, the answer is “More than one of the above”; “None of the above” would have been right only if every listed pair were accurate, which is not the case here.
