\nLet’s examine each statement:
\nA) Area wise Madhya Pradesh is the fourth largest state in India. This statement is incorrect. Based on geographical area, the largest state in India is Rajasthan, followed by Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and then Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, Madhya Pradesh is the *second* largest state by area, not the fourth.
\nB) Hornbill festival is celebrated in Nagaland. This is correct. The Hornbill Festival is an annual festival celebrated in Nagaland, India, typically in the first week of December.
\nC) Gujarat state contribute 7.9 per cent share to the National GDP. While the exact percentage fluctuates annually, Gujarat is a major industrial and economic hub, and its contribution to India’s GDP is substantial, generally ranging between 7% and 9%. A figure around 7.9% for a specific period is plausible and generally considered correct in the context of such questions.
\nD) Telangana is situated in the Deccan plateau in the central stretch of Indian peninsula. This is correct. Telangana’s geography is dominated by the Deccan Plateau.
\nSince the question asks for the statement that is NOT correct, statement A is the answer.
