Match List – I with List – II : Select the correct answer using the codes given below.List – I List – II a. Vaishali 1. Silk Textile b. Bhagalpur 2. Gold c. Jamui 3. Rail coach factory d. Madhepura 4. Flori culture
a – 4, b – 1, c – 2, d – 3
The correct matching is a – 4, b – 1, c – 2, d – 3, option 3.
| District | Associated with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Vaishali | Floriculture | A centre of commercial flower cultivation in Bihar, with marigold, tuberose and gladiolus grown for the Patna market |
| Bhagalpur | Silk textile | Known as the Silk City for its Tussar silk weaving, given a Geographical Indication tag as Bhagalpur silk |
| Jamui | Gold | Holds India’s largest gold ore reserves by tonnage, in the Karmatia and Sono belt |
| Madhepura | Rail coach factory | Site of the Madhepura Electric Locomotive Factory, a joint venture with Alstom producing 12,000 horsepower freight locomotives |
Fixing the two easiest pairs first. Bhagalpur and silk is the best-known association in Bihar, and Madhepura and railway manufacturing is the newest and most publicised. Fixing b – 1 and d – 3 already eliminates every option except the third, and the remaining pairs then follow: Jamui with gold and Vaishali with floriculture.
A little more on each. Bhagalpur’s Tussar silk is woven from the cocoons of wild silkworms reared on Asan and Arjun trees, and the craft supports thousands of weaver households. The gold in Jamui, reported by the Geological Survey of India, is present in large tonnage but at low grade, so extraction has not yet begun on a commercial scale. Madhepura’s locomotive plant, along with the diesel-to-electric conversion facility at Marhaura in Saran, marks Bihar’s entry into heavy railway manufacturing.
Hence, the answer is a – 4, b – 1, c – 2, d – 3.
