Consider the following pairs of mineral resources and their prominent mining districts/regions in Gujarat:
| Mineral | Associated Region |
|---|---|
| 1. Bauxite | Devbhumi Dwarka |
| 2. Lignite | Panandhro (Kutch) |
| 3. Limestone | Porbandar |
| 4. Chalk (Porbandar Stone) | Junagadh |
Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Bauxite is mined in Devbhumi Dwarka and Kutch, lignite at Panandhro in Kutch, and limestone in the Porbandar region, so pairs 1, 2 and 3 match. Chalk, also called Porbandar Stone, comes from Porbandar district and not Junagadh, so pair 4 is wrong.
