Arrange the following coal mining areas of India from south to north direction of their location and choose the correct option :
I. Singareni
II. Neyveli
III. Jharia
IV. Talchar
I. Singareni
II. Neyveli
III. Jharia
IV. Talchar
Show Hint
Jharia is India's largest source of high-grade coking coal.
Remember the sequence: TN $\rightarrow$ TS $\rightarrow$ OD $\rightarrow$ JH.
- \( \text{II, I, III, IV} \)
- \( \text{II, I, IV, III} \)
- \( \text{I, II, IV, III} \)
- \( \text{I, II, III, IV} \)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
• Geographical location of major minerals in India follows latitudinal distribution across states.
• Identifying the state of each coal mine is necessary to determine their North-South order.
Step 1: Identify the locations of the mines
II. Neyveli is located in Tamil Nadu (Southern India).
I. Singareni is located in Telangana (Deccan region).
IV. Talchar (Talcher) is located in Odisha (Eastern India).
III. Jharia is located in Jharkhand (North-Eastern plateau region).
Step 2: Arrange from South to North
Based on the latitude of these states:
• Southernmost: Tamil Nadu (Neyveli - II)
• Next: Telangana (Singareni - I)
• Next: Odisha (Talchar - IV)
• Northernmost: Jharkhand (Jharia - III)
Step 3: Final Sequence
The correct order is II, I, IV, III.
This matches option (B).

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Hunting and Food Gathering
The earliest human beings depended on their immediate environment for their sustenance. They subsisted on: (a) animals which they hunted; and (b) the edible plants which they gathered from forests in the vicinity. Primitive societies depended on wild animals. People located in very cold and extremely hot climates survived on hunting. The people in the coastal areas still catch fish though fishing has experienced modernisation due to technological development. Many species, now have become extinct or endangered due to illegal hunting (poaching). The early hunters used primitive tools made of stones, twigs or arrows so the number of animals killed was limited. Gathering and hunting are the oldest economic activity known. These are carried out at different levels with different orientations. Gathering is practised in regions with harsh climatic conditions. It often involves primitive societies, who extract both plants and animals to satisfy their needs for food, shelter and clothing. This type of activity requires a small amount of capital investment and operates at very low levels of technology. The yield per person is very low and little or no surplus is produced.- Examine the role of climate, water availability, and soil fertility on the distribution of world population.
