| List-I | List-II | ||
| (Industry) | (Raw Material) | ||
| (A) | Agro Based Industry | (I) | Wood, Bamboo |
| (B) | Mineral Based Industry | (II) | Mineral Oil |
| (C) | Chemical Based Industry | (III) | Ferrous Oxide |
| (D) | Forest Based Industry | (IV) | Sugarcane |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A) Agro Based Industry — this matches (IV) Sugarcane. Sugar is made from sugarcane, a farm product.
(B) Mineral Based Industry — this matches (III) Ferrous Oxide. Iron ore is a ferrous mineral; it feeds the iron and steel industry.
(C) Chemical Based Industry — this matches (II) Mineral Oil. Mineral oil (petroleum) is used in the petrochemical industry.
(D) Forest Based Industry — this matches (I) Wood, Bamboo. Wood, bamboo and grass from forests are used to make paper.
NCERT (2026-27): “(a) Agro based Industries … Agro processing involves the processing of raw materials from the field and the farm into finished products for rural and urban markets. Major agro-processing industries are food processing, sugar, pickles, fruits juices, beverages (tea, coffee and cocoa), spices and oils fats and textiles (cotton, jute, silk), rubber, etc.” “(b) Mineral based Industries … These industries use minerals as a raw material. Some industries use ferrous metallic minerals which contain ferrous (iron), such as iron and steel industries but some use non-ferrous metallic minerals, such as aluminium, copper and jewellery industries.” “(c) Chemical based Industries … Such industries use natural chemical minerals, e.g. mineral-oil (petroleum) is used in petrochemical industry.” “(d) Forest based Raw Material using Industries … The forests provide many major and minor products which are used as raw material. Timber for furniture industry, wood, bamboo and grass for paper industry, lac for lac industries come from forests.” |
