\[\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Group I} & \textbf{Group II} \\ \hline \text{P. Diamond} & \text{1. Malanjkhand} \\ \hline \text{Q. Iron} & \text{2. Wajarkaru} \\ \hline \text{R. Fluorite} & \text{3. Dalli Rajhara} \\ \hline \text{S. Copper} & \text{4. Ambadongar} \\ \hline \end{array}\]

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

Hint:

Always associate the correct mineral with its known geographic location to ensure accurate identification.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Geological associations:

P. Diamond: Associated with Wajrakarur (2)

• Wajrakarur in Andhra Pradesh is famous for diamond deposits in kimberlite pipes

Q. Iron: Associated with Dalli Rajhara (3)

• Dalli Rajhara in Chhattisgarh is a major iron ore mining area with high-grade hematite deposits

R. Fluorite: Associated with Ambadongar (4)

• Ambadongar in Gujarat is known for fluorite (fluorspar) deposits

S. Copper: Associated with Malanjkhand (1)

• Malanjkhand in Madhya Pradesh is one of India's largest copper deposits

Step 2: Matching:

• P → 2 (Diamond → Wajrakarur)
• Q → 3 (Iron → Dalli Rajhara)
• R → 4 (Fluorite → Ambadongar)
• S → 1 (Copper → Malanjkhand)

Answer: (D) P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1
