B. Raichur | 2. Gujarat

D. Wanakbori | 4. Tamil Nadu

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-1, B-3, C-4, D-2). This matching is based on the geographical locations of major thermal power stations in India.

  • A-1 (Kothagudem - Andhra Pradesh): The Kothagudem Thermal Power Station is located at Paloncha. While it is now in Telangana post-bifurcation, in the context of standard UPSC questions based on established datasets, it is traditionally associated with Andhra Pradesh.
  • B-3 (Raichur - Karnataka): The Raichur Thermal Power Station (RTPS) was the first coal-fired station established in Karnataka.
  • C-4 (Mettur - Tamil Nadu): The Mettur Thermal Power Station is a prominent coal-based plant located in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu.
  • D-2 (Wanakbori - Gujarat): The Wanakbori Thermal Power Station is situated on the banks of the Mahi river in Gujarat.

Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect as they misalign these critical infrastructure sites with their respective states.
