  4. 2 and 4
Show answer & explanation

Answer: (C) 1 and 3

Explanation

Per the official key, pairs 1 and 3 are wrong. Manganese is not mined at Bhilwara (which is known for mica and lead-zinc), so pair 3 is clearly wrong. Ballari (iron ore) and Katni (bauxite) are correct. (Copper does occur at Ingaldhal, Chitradurga, but the key treats pair 1 as incorrect.)
