Match List-I with List-II:
| List-I (Energy Type) | List-II (Key Locations/Regions) | ||
| (A) | Nuclear energy | (I) | Gujarat and Rajasthan |
| (B) | Wind energy | (II) | West Coast of India |
| (C) | Tidal energy | (III) | Tarapur |
| (D) | Geothermal energy | (IV) | Manikaran |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
(A) Nuclear energy — this matches (III) Tarapur, a nuclear power project in Maharashtra.
(B) Wind energy — this matches (I) Gujarat and Rajasthan. These two states are among the four with favourable conditions for wind energy; Maharashtra and Karnataka are the other two.
(C) Tidal energy — this matches (II) West Coast of India, where large tidal waves occur.
(D) Geothermal energy — this matches (IV) Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh.
NCERT (2026-27): “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).” “India, already has started generating wind energy. In Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka, favourable conditions for wind energy exist.” “Tidal and Wave Energy … Large tidal waves are known to occur along the west coast of India. Hence, India has great potential for the development of tidal energy along the coasts but so far these have not yet been utilised.” “Geothermal Energy … In India, a geothermal energy plant has been commissioned at Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh.” |
