Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (I, II and IV). This selection correctly identifies the major paper manufacturing hubs in India among the given choices.

  • Yamunanagar (Haryana): Home to the Ballarpur Industries Limited (BILT), it is one of India's oldest and largest clusters for high-quality writing and printing paper.
  • Guwahati (Assam): The region is vital for the paper industry due to the abundant availability of bamboo and softwoods. The Nagaon Paper Mill (HPC) near Guwahati has historically been a significant producer.
  • Ballarpur (Maharashtra): Located in Chandrapur district, it is synonymous with large-scale paper production, housing one of the flagship units of the BILT group.

Shahabad (Karnataka/UP/Bihar) is primarily known for its limestone quarries, cement production, or sugar industries rather than being a recognized commercial center for paper manufacturing. Thus, excluding III makes Option 2 the most accurate choice.
