Which one of the following pairs of city and industry is NOT correctly matched?

This question was previously asked in
NDA I 2023 GAT Previous Year Paper (16-Apr-2023)
The correct answer is

Raniganj : Iron and steel industry

The correct answer is Raniganj : Iron and steel industry.

Raniganj, in Paschim Bardhaman district of West Bengal, is famous for its coal mines — it is one of India's oldest and largest coalfields — not for iron and steel. So this pair is NOT correctly matched.

The other pairs are correct: Saharanpur (UP) is a major centre of paper and wood-carving industries; Chanderi (MP) is renowned for its handloom cotton textiles (Chanderi sarees); and Bhadohi (UP) is India's largest carpet-manufacturing hub, often called the 'Carpet City'. Hence Raniganj-Iron and steel is the wrongly matched pair.
