Explanation:
Pair 1 is correct: Kamarajar Port, located on the Coromandel Coast about 24 km north of Chennai Port, is the 12th major port of India and the first port in India which is a public company. It is registered as a company and follows the landlord port model.
Pair 2 is correct: Mundra Port is indeed the largest privately owned port in India. It is located on the north shores of the Gulf of Kutch near Mundra in the state of Gujarat. Mundra Port is operated by Adani Ports and SEZ Limited (APSEZ) and is a significant hub for containers and bulk cargo.
Pair 3 is incorrect: Visakhapatnam is not the largest container port in India. The largest container port in India is Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) located in Nhava Sheva, Maharashtra. Visakhapatnam, also known as Vizag, is a major port in India but does not hold the distinction of being the largest container port.
