The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Identify the locations of major mines for each mineral.
  • Iron-ore (a): Sundargarh (iv) is a major iron-ore mining district in Odisha (part of the famous iron-ore belt including Gurumahisani, Badampahar, etc.).
  • Manganese (b): Chandrapur (iii) in Maharashtra is a major manganese mining area (also Bhandara and Nagpur districts in the same region).
  • Bauxite (c): Katni (i) in Madhya Pradesh is known for bauxite deposits (part of the Vindhya region).
  • Copper (d): Bhilwara (ii) in Rajasthan has copper mines (the Khetri copper belt extends into this region).

Step 2: Create the correct matching pairs.
  • a (Iron-ore) matches with iv (Sundargarh)
  • b (Manganese) matches with iii (Chandrapur)
  • c (Bauxite) matches with i (Katni)
  • d (Copper) matches with ii (Bhilwara)
So the correct sequence is: a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
Step 3: Analysis of each option.
  • (A) a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii: Correct.} This matches all the correct pairs.
  • (B) a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i: Incorrect. This has all matches wrong.
  • (C) a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii: Incorrect. Iron-ore and manganese matches are wrong.
  • (D) a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i: Incorrect. Bauxite and copper matches are wrong.
Final Answer:} (A) iv iii i ii
