Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
| LIST-I Energy Plant | LIST-II Type of Energy | ||
| A. | Okhla, Delhi | I. | Petroleum |
| B. | Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh | II. | Bio-energy |
| C. | Narora, Uttar Pradesh | III. | Geothermal Energy |
| D. | Barauni, Bihar | IV. | Nuclear Energy |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I
(A) Okhla, Delhi — this matches (II) Bio-energy. Okhla has a project that converts municipal waste into energy.
(B) Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh — this matches (III) Geothermal Energy. India’s geothermal energy plant uses the heat of the hot springs there.
(C) Narora, Uttar Pradesh — this matches (IV) Nuclear Energy. It is one of the important nuclear power projects, with Tarapur, Rawatbhata, Kalpakkam, Kaiga and Kakarapara.
(D) Barauni, Bihar — this matches (I) Petroleum. Barauni has a market-based oil refinery, unlike field-based Digboi.
NCERT (2025-26): “Petroleum … Oil extracted from the wells is crude oil and contains many impurities. It cannot be used directly. It needs to be refined. There are two types of refineries in India: (a) field-based and (b) market-based. Digboi is an example of field-based and Barauni is an example of market-based refinery.…” “Nuclear Energy Resources … The important nuclear power projects are Tarapur (Maharashtra), Rawatbhata near Kota (Rajasthan), Kalpakkam (Tamil Nadu), Narora (Uttar Pradesh), Kaiga (Karnataka) and Kakarapara (Gujarat).…” “Geothermal Energy … The hot springs and geysers are being used since medieval period. In India, a geothermal energy plant has been commissioned at Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh.” “Bio-energy … Bio-energy refers to energy derived from biological products which includes agricultural residues, municipal, industrial and other wastes. Bio-energy is a potential source of energy conversion. It can be converted into electrical energy, heat energy or gas for cooking. It will also process the waste and garbage and produce energy. This will improve economic life of rural areas in developing countries, reduce environmental pollution, enhance self-reliance and reduce pressure on fuel wood. One such project converting municipal waste into energy is Okhla in Delhi.” |
