Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
1. List I (Places) - List II (Industries)
2. I. Jamnagar - A) Aluminium
3. II. Hospet - B) Woollen Textile
4. III. Korba - C) Fertilizers
5. IV. Haldia - D) Cement E) Iron and Steel
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
1. Match the places with their associated industries:
I. Jamnagar: Known for petrochemicals and oil refineries (Reliance). While B (Woollen Textile) might have some presence, it's not the primary industry.
II. Hospet (Vijayanagara district): Major centre for Iron and Steel (E).
III. Korba: Known for coal mining, power generation, and Aluminium (BALCO) (A).
IV. Haldia: Major industrial port city known for petrochemicals and Fertilizers (C).
2. Checking the options, option B matches II-E, III-A, IV-C. It assigns I-B (Jamnagar - Woollen Textile). While Jamnagar is more famous for Petrochemicals, the Bandhani (tie-dye) textile work, often on wool or silk, is also significant locally. Given the other strong matches in option B, this is the most likely correct pairing.
