Correct Option
The question requires matching the given cement industry centres with their corresponding locations on the provided map. The map labels 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent specific geographical regions where these industries are situated.
- Map location 1 is situated on the coast of Gujarat, corresponding to Sikka.
- Map location 2 is in central India, specifically Madhya Pradesh, corresponding to Katni.
- Map location 3 is in northern India, within Uttar Pradesh, corresponding to Churk.
- Map location 4 is in southern India, in Tamil Nadu, corresponding to Tirunelveli.
Based on this geographical identification, the correct matching of the listed names (Katni, Tirunelveli, Sikka, Churk) to the map labels (1, 2, 3, 4) is as follows:
- Katni corresponds to map location 2.
- Tirunelveli corresponds to map location 4.
- Sikka corresponds to map location 1.
- Churk corresponds to map location 3.
Therefore, the correct option is (b), which states: A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3. Here, A, B, C, D represent Katni, Tirunelveli, Sikka, and Churk respectively, and the numbers indicate the corresponding map locations.
Incorrect Options
- Option (a) is incorrect because it mismatches Katni with map location 3 (Churk) and Sikka with map location 2 (Katni).
- Option (c) is incorrect as it wrongly associates Sikka with map location 4 (Tirunelveli) and Katni with map location 1 (Sikka).
- Option (d) is incorrect due to the misplacement of Tirunelveli at map location 3 (Churk) and Churk at map location 4 (Tirunelveli), which reverses their accurate geographical positions.
