• B. P-1, Q-4, R-3, S-2
• C. P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4
• D. P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4

Hint:

Fuels such as uranium, lignite, coal, and petroleum occur in distinct geological regions with specific conditions of formation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Areas of Occurrence.
- Uranium is found in Jaduguda, Jharkhand, so P-1.
- Lignite is found in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh, so Q-4.
- Bituminous coal is found in Digboi, Assam, so R-3.
- Petroleum is found in Vasta, Gujarat, so S-2.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1: Incorrect — The areas for Uranium and Petroleum are mismatched.
(B) P-1, Q-4, R-3, S-2: Correct — This matches each fuel with its corresponding area of occurrence.
(C) P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4: Incorrect — The areas for all fuels are mismatched.
(D) P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4: Incorrect — The areas for all fuels are mismatched.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (B) P-1, Q-4, R-3, S-2, as it correctly matches the fuels with their areas of occurrence.
