Match List I (City) with List II (Industry) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

List I | List II
I. Koraput | (A) Heavy Engineering
II. Nangal | (B) Petrochemical
III. Vadodara | (C) Aluminium
IV. Ranchi | (D) Fertilizer
| (E) Zinc smelting

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 (I-C, II-D, III-B, IV-A). This matching is based on the established industrial hubs of India:

  • Koraput (I-C): Located in Odisha, Koraput is famous for its Aluminium industry, specifically the National Aluminium Company (NALCO) refinery, which utilizes the region's rich bauxite deposits.
  • Nangal (II-D): Nangal in Punjab is a prominent center for the Fertilizer industry, home to the National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) plant.
  • Vadodara (III-B): Known as the "Gateway to the Golden Corridor," Vadodara (Gujarat) is a major hub for the Petrochemical industry, housing the Gujarat Refinery and IPCL.
  • Ranchi (IV-A): Ranchi (Jharkhand) is synonymous with Heavy Engineering due to the presence of the Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC), often called the "Mother of Industries."

Options 3 and 4 are incorrect because Koraput is not associated with Zinc smelting (E), which is primarily centered in Udaipur. Option 2 is incorrect as it misidentifies the industries in Nangal and Vadodara.
