List I | List II
A. Thai | 1. Andhra Pradesh
B. Manuguru | 2. Gujarat
C. Kakrapar | 3. Maharashtra
D. Kaiga | 4. Rajasthan
| 5. Karnataka

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (A-3, B-1, C-2, D-5) based on the geographical locations of India's nuclear and heavy water facilities:

  • A. Thal (3 - Maharashtra): Located in the Raigad district, Thal-Vaishet houses a major Heavy Water Plant operated by the Heavy Water Board.
  • B. Manuguru (1 - Andhra Pradesh/Telangana): Manuguru is home to a significant Heavy Water Plant. While it is in present-day Telangana, in the context of older UPSC questions, it is associated with the undivided state of Andhra Pradesh.
  • C. Kakrapar (2 - Gujarat): The Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) is a prominent nuclear power plant located near Surat in Gujarat.
  • D. Kaiga (5 - Karnataka): The Kaiga Generating Station is a nuclear power plant situated in the Uttar Kannada district of Karnataka.

Option 4 is correct because it accurately aligns each facility with its respective state. Other options are incorrect as they misplace Kakrapar in Rajasthan (instead of Gujarat) or Kaiga in Andhra Pradesh (instead of Karnataka).
