- B.a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
- C.a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
- D.a-i, b-iii, c-iv, d-ii
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv. Gua and Noamundi, in West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, are well-known iron ore mines of the Singhbhum–Keonjhar belt, which feeds steel plants such as the one at Jamshedpur. Balaghat district in Madhya Pradesh has the Malanjkhand copper mine, one of India's largest open-cast copper mines. The Amarkantak plateau, where the Narmada and the Son rise, has rich bauxite deposits, the ore of aluminium. Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh is a leading mica belt of India, along with Koderma in Jharkhand and Bhilwara in Rajasthan. Option A is wrong because it gives copper to Amarkantak and bauxite to Balaghat. Option B is wrong because it places iron ore at Amarkantak and bauxite at Gua and Noamundi. Option D is wrong because it puts iron ore at Balaghat, copper at Gua and Noamundi, and mica at Amarkantak. Exam tip: Gua–Noamundi iron ore, Malanjkhand (Balaghat) copper, Amarkantak bauxite, Nellore and Koderma mica.
