Choose the incorrect pair:
Mineral - Major Producer

Question

Choose the incorrect pair: 
Mineral - Major Producer

Accepted Answer

Option 3 is the incorrect pair because while Belgaum is a significant bauxite producing region, Chikmanglur is primarily known for its iron ore and coffee production, not bauxite. Therefore, the pairing of Bauxite with Belgaum and Chikmanglur is inaccurate.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Option 1 (Iron Ore - Sundargarh, Mayurbhanj):** This is a correct pairing. Sundargarh and Mayurbhanj districts in Odisha are major iron ore producing regions in India.

*   **Option 2 (Manganese - Shimoga, Chitradurg):** This is also a correct pairing. Shimoga and Chitradurg districts in Karnataka are known for their manganese ore deposits.

*   **Option 4 (Copper - Balaghat, Singhbhum):** This is a correct pairing as well. Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh and Singhbhum (now divided into several districts) in Jharkhand are important copper producing areas.
