The rough outline map given shows centres of cement industry labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4. Match these centres with the following sets of names: 1. Names 2. A) Katni 3. B) Tirunelveli 4. C) Sikka 5. D) Churk Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
A
A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1
B
A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
C
A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3
D
A-2, B-3. C-1, D-4
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
1. The question requires matching map locations (1, 2, 3, 4) with specific cement industry centres.
Location 1: Seems to be in Gujarat, likely representing Sikka (C), known for cement plants.
Location 2: Appears to be in Madhya Pradesh/Eastern UP, potentially Katni (A) (MP) or Churk (D) (UP), both known cement centres. Given Katni's prominence, let's tentatively assign A to 2.
Location 3: Looks like it is in Uttar Pradesh, likely Churk (D).
Location 4: Located in the southern part of India, likely Tamil Nadu, representing Tirunelveli (B) area (Talaiyuthu nearby has a plant).
2. Let's re-evaluate based on options. Option (B) suggests: A-2 (Katni at 2), B-4 (Tirunelveli at 4), C-1 (Sikka at 1), D-3 (Churk at 3).
3. This matching (Katni in MP/Central India, Tirunelveli in South, Sikka in West/Gujarat, Churk in UP/North-Central) aligns well geographically with the approximate locations on a rough map of India.
4. Therefore, option (B) provides the correct matching.
