Which one of the following coalfields is not located in Jharkhand ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Umaria coalfield is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, not Jharkhand. It is part of the Gondwana coal formations found in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh [2][4]. In contrast, Jharia, Ramgarh, and Deogarh (also spelled Devgarh) are all prominent coalfields situated within Jharkhand. Jharia, located in the Dhanbad district, is India's largest coalfield and a primary source of coking coal [1]. Ramgarh coalfield is situated in the Ramgarh district along the Damodar River [3][4]. Deogarh coalfield is located in the Santhal Parganas region of Jharkhand [4]. While Jharkhand holds the largest coal reserves in India, Umaria specifically belongs to the Madhya Pradesh coal belt alongside other fields like Singrauli and Sohagpur [4].
