Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) 2 3 4 1
Explanation
The correct matches are a-2, b-3, c-4, d-1:
- Sugar → Maholi (Uttar Pradesh), in a sugarcane-growing area;
- Paper → Chandrahat (West Bengal);
- Cement → Sawai Madhopur (Rajasthan), near limestone deposits;
- Iron and steel → Raurkela (Odisha), built with German help under the Second Five-Year Plan.
Such industries are usually set up near their raw materials, since these are bulky or lose weight in processing.
