Question

Match the examples in Group I with their corresponding typologies in Group II. 
 

• A. P-2, Q-1, R-4, S-5
• B. P-4, Q-2, R-5, S-3
• C. P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-5
• D. P-3, Q-5, R-1, S-4

Hint:

Satellite towns support nearby metros, counter magnets reduce migration pressure, urban agglomerations represent continuous spread, and investment regions drive industrial growth.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We match each place in Group I with its appropriate urban typology in Group II:

(P) Navi Mumbai → (3) Satellite Town
Navi Mumbai was purposefully developed as a planned satellite town to decongest Mumbai by relocating population and economic activity into a nearby urban extension. Satellite towns function as supportive urban settlements around a major metropolitan city, and Navi Mumbai is a classic example.

(Q) Hissar → (1) Counter Magnet
Hissar (Hisar) was identified under India's National Capital Region (NCR) planning framework as a counter magnet, meaning it was selected to attract migrants away from Delhi and thereby reduce migration pressure on the national capital. Counter magnets are specifically chosen secondary cities with the potential to absorb population spillover.

(R) Greater Mumbai → (2) Urban Agglomeration
Greater Mumbai represents a continuous spread of urban development including the main city and surrounding suburbs, forming one large urban agglomeration. It is among the largest and most densely populated urban agglomerations in India.

(S) Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor → (5) Investment Region
The Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is a massive infrastructure megaproject aimed at creating new industrial, logistics, and manufacturing zones. It is officially categorized as an investment region—a large area designated for industrial growth supported by major investments and policy incentives.

Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-5 \] which corresponds to option (C).
