   Only pairs 2 and 3 are correct: Bhima I was a Chaulukya (Solanki) ruler of Gujarat, and Jayapala was the Hindu Shahi king defeated by Mahmud of Ghazni. Lakshmikarna belonged to the Kalachuri (Chedi) dynasty of Tripuri, not the Palas, and Lalitaditya Muktapida was a Karkota ruler of Kashmir; the Utpala dynasty (founded by Avantivarman) came later.
