- P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1
- P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
- P-4, Q-1, R-3, S-2
- P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall characteristic formations of each basin.
- Cauvery Basin (Meso–Cenozoic, SE India): well-known Kallamedu Formation (Late Cretaceous). $\Rightarrow$ P–4.
- Damodar Basin (Gondwana, eastern India): classic coal measures including the Raniganj Formation. $\Rightarrow$ Q–3.
- Chhattisgarh Basin (Proterozoic): includes the Tiratgarh Sandstone/Formation. $\Rightarrow$ R–2.
- Indravati Basin (Proterozoic, Bastar craton): includes Lohardih Formation. $\Rightarrow$ S–1.
Step 2: Compile the mapping.
P–4, Q–3, R–2, S–1 $\Rightarrow$ option (A).
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1}} \]
