Which of the following pairs of minerals and its leading producing state in India is correctly matched?
Bauxite – Odisha
The question requires identifying the mineral that is correctly paired with its leading producing state in India.
Odisha is by far the largest producer of bauxite, the chief ore of aluminium, with major deposits in the Kalahandi-Koraput belt, so the pair Bauxite - Odisha is correctly matched.
Copper's leading producer is Rajasthan, centred on the Khetri belt, rather than Uttar Pradesh, so that pair is wrong.
The leading producer of mica in recent years has been Andhra Pradesh (with the Koderma belt of Jharkhand/Bihar historically famous), not Rajasthan, so that pairing is also incorrect.
Limestone is led by states such as Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, not Jharkhand, so that pair fails too.
With the other three pairs mismatched, the correctly matched pair is Bauxite - Odisha.
