Matching Cities with Minerals

This question requires matching cities from List I with the primary mineral found in those areas from List II. Let's analyze each city-mineral pair to determine the correct matches.

List I and List II Overview

List I (City) List II (Mineral)
A. Bewar 1. Manganese
B. Balaghat 2. Mica
C. Bilaspur 3. Iron-ore
D. Ballary 4. Bauxite

Determining the Correct Matches

We need to find the primary mineral associated with each city listed:

  • A. Bewar: Bewar, located in Rajasthan, is famously associated with Mica (2) mining. Rajasthan is one of India's largest mica producers.
  • B. Balaghat: Balaghat, situated in Madhya Pradesh, is renowned for its significant Manganese (1) ore deposits. It is one of the major manganese-producing districts in India.
  • C. Bilaspur: Bilaspur, in Chhattisgarh, is linked to mineral resources. While the state is known for iron ore, the plateau region near Bilaspur is a notable source of Bauxite (4).
  • D. Ballary: Ballary (Bellary) district in Karnataka is a major hub for Iron-ore (3) mining. It is part of the larger Bellary-Hospet iron ore belt.

Summary of Correct Pairings

Based on the analysis, the correct matches are:

  • A matches with 2 (Bewar - Mica)
  • B matches with 1 (Balaghat - Manganese)
  • C matches with 4 (Bilaspur - Bauxite)
  • D matches with 3 (Ballary - Iron-ore)

This corresponds to the code sequence: 2, 1, 4, 3.

Selecting the Correct Option

Comparing this sequence (2, 1, 4, 3) with the given options, we find that option (c) matches our derived code.

(c) 2 1 4 3

Therefore, the correct option is (c).
