Question

Match the economic deposits (Group I) with their places of occurrence (Group II). 
Group I             Group II 
P. Iron ore         1. Bhatan 
Q. Base metal    2. Sukinda 
R. Chromite       3. Rampura–Agucha 
S. Uranium        4. Bellary 
 

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

Hint:

Remember key associations: Bellary–Iron, Sukinda–Chromite, Rampura Agucha–Zn–Pb, Bhatan–Uranium.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding major Indian mineral deposits.
- Iron ore: Bellary region, Karnataka.
- Base metal (Pb–Zn): Rampura–Agucha, Rajasthan.
- Chromite: Sukinda, Odisha.
- Uranium: Bhatan (Jharkhand).
Step 2: Matching.
P–4 (Iron ore–Bellary), Q–3 (Base metal–Rampura Agucha), R–2 (Chromite–Sukinda), S–1 (Uranium–Bhatan).
Step 3: Conclusion.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D).
