Correct Answer
B Only two
Model Answer
- Kudremukh in the Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka has one of the largest iron ore deposits of the country and the ore is exported through the New Mangalore port. Hence, row 1 is correctly matched.
- Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh, along with Nagpur and Bhandara in Maharashtra, lies in an important manganese producing belt of India. Hence, row 2 is correctly matched.
- Katni is a district of Madhya Pradesh which is well known for its bauxite and limestone deposits and not of Chhattisgarh. Hence, row 3 is not correctly matched.
- Therefore, only two rows are correctly matched.
