Which of the following pair is not correctly matched? District Mining area A Panna Diamond B Balaghat Copper C Katni Limestone D Sagar Manganese
D
The question asks to identify the pair that is incorrectly matched between a given district and its primary mining area. Let's examine each option:
We need to verify the accuracy of the association between the district and the mineral it is known for mining.
| District | Associated Mining Area | Verification |
| Panna | Diamond | Correct. Panna district in Madhya Pradesh is famously known as the diamond city of India, with significant diamond mining activities. |
| Balaghat | Copper | Correct. Balaghat district in Madhya Pradesh is a major center for copper mining in India, notably housing the Malanjkhand Copper Mine. |
| Katni | Limestone | Correct. Katni, also in Madhya Pradesh, is rich in limestone reserves and is a significant producer of limestone, used extensively in cement production. It is also known for bauxite. |
| Sagar | Manganese | Incorrect. While Sagar district in Madhya Pradesh has mineral resources, it is not primarily known for manganese mining. Major manganese mining districts in Madhya Pradesh include Balaghat, Chhindwara, and Jhabua. Sagar's known resources are more related to coal, sandstone, and building stones. |
Based on the verification:
Therefore, the pair that is not correctly matched is Sagar-Manganese.
According to the Indian Minerals Yearbook 2020, which state has the highest production of manganese in India?
Which position did Madhya Pradesh hold in copper production in India during the year 2021 - 22?
Other than in Madhya Pradesh, how many other working diamond mines are there in India?
