Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Metals are extracted from naturally occurring minerals called ores.
Knowledge of the chemical formulas of common ores is essential in metallurgy.
Detailed Explanation:
(a) Haematite: An oxide ore of Iron.
Formula: $Fe_{2}O_{3}$.
Matching: (a) $\rightarrow$ (iii).
(b) Magnetite: A magnetic oxide ore of Iron (Mixed oxide).
Formula: $Fe_{3}O_{4}$.
Matching: (b) $\rightarrow$ (i).
(c) Calamine: A carbonate ore of Zinc.
Formula: $ZnCO_{3}$.
Matching: (c) $\rightarrow$ (ii).
(d) Kaolinite: A clay mineral (aluminium silicate).
Formula: $[Al_{2}(OH)_{4}Si_{2}O_{5}]$.
Matching: (d) $\rightarrow$ (iv).
Step 2: Final Answer:
The sequence (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv) corresponds to option (2).
