Practice questions
Q1Which of the following statements is not correct about Gondwana coal?
Gondwana coal in India is mainly associated with Permian-age Gondwana formations, and it is generally high-grade bituminous coal, not mainly peat or lignite. Peat is the earliest, poorly carbonised stage, and lignite is a low-grade brown coal, so that description does not fit Gondwana coalfields. The Damodar, Mahanadi, Godavari and Narmada valley belts are associated with Gondwana deposits. Raniganj, Jharia, Tata Pani and Himgiri are also recognised coalfield or mine areas linked with the Gondwana formation.
Q2Balaghat, Chhindwara and Jhabua districts of Madhya Pradesh are known for the production of which of the following minerals?
The districts named in the question are associated in the paper key with manganese production in Madhya Pradesh, especially the well-known manganese belt around Balaghat and Chhindwara. Copper is more strongly linked with areas such as Malanjkhand in Balaghat, but that is not the keyed mineral here. Mica is classically associated with the Jharkhand-Bihar-Andhra belt rather than these districts as a group. Bauxite occurs in parts of Madhya Pradesh, yet the given district grouping points to manganese in this CET item.
