Match List-I with List-II
| List-I (Name of Mineral) | List-II (Type of Mineral) | ||
| (A) | Bauxite | (I) | Non-Ferrous |
| (B) | Mica | (II) | Fuel |
| (C) | Coal | (III) | Non-Metallic |
| (D) | Manganese | (IV) | Ferrous |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
(A) Bauxite — this matches (I) Non-Ferrous. Bauxite has no iron in it. It is the ore of aluminium.
(B) Mica — this matches (III) Non-Metallic. Mica is an inorganic non-metallic mineral, like limestone and graphite.
(C) Coal — this matches (II) Fuel. Coal is a fossil fuel, also called a mineral fuel.
(D) Manganese — this matches (IV) Ferrous. Manganese is grouped with iron ore as a ferrous mineral. It is an important raw material for smelting iron ore.
