Q1. Malajkhand is associated with the production of which mineral?
Explanation
Malajkhand, in Madhya Pradesh, is one of India’s best-known copper mining areas and is associated with copper production. Lignite is a low-grade coal found in areas such as Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, not identified with Malajkhand. Iron ore is linked with belts such as Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Karnataka. Diamond production in India is classically associated with Panna in Madhya Pradesh. Since Malajkhand is a copper-mining centre, copper is the correct answer.
