Question

Match the metals (List-I) with their ores (List-II)\[\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Metals)} & \textbf{List-II (Ores)} \\ \hline \text{(A) Mercury (Hg)} & \text{(III) Cinnabar} \\ \hline \text{(B) Lead (Pb)} & \text{(IV) Galena} \\ \hline \text{(C) Manganese (Mn)} & \text{(I) Pyrolusite} \\ \hline \text{(D) Zinc (Zn)} & \text{(II) Calamine} \\ \hline \end{array}\]

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

The ores of metals are specific to the metal they contain, and each ore is characterized by its chemical composition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Metal-Ore Pairing.
- (A) Mercury (Hg) is sourced from Cinnabar (III). - (B) Lead (Pb) is sourced from Galena (IV). - (C) Manganese (Mn) is sourced from Pyrolusite (I). - (D) Zinc (Zn) is sourced from Calamine (II).

Step 2: Final Pairing.
The correct pairings are: - (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) The correct selection is option (4).
