Which of the following pairs of minerals and its leading producing state in India is correctly matched?
Bauxite – Odisha
The question asks which mineral is correctly paired with its leading producing state in India, so each pair must be judged on the actual top producer.
Odisha is India's leading producer of bauxite, the chief ore of aluminium, with large deposits in districts such as Koraput and Kalahandi, so the pair Bauxite – Odisha is correctly matched.
Limestone's leading producers are states like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, not Jharkhand, so the Limestone – Jharkhand pairing is wrong.
The leading producer of mica is Andhra Pradesh; Rajasthan is a notable producer but not the top one, so the Mica – Rajasthan pairing is incorrect.
Copper production is led by states such as Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh rather than Uttar Pradesh, so the Copper – Uttar Pradesh pairing also fails.
Only the bauxite pairing survives when the true leading producer of each mineral is applied.
Hence the correctly matched pair is Bauxite – Odisha.
