Consider the following pairs:
Region - Well-known for the production of
1. Kinnaur - Areca nut
2. Mewat - Mango
3. Coromandel - Soya bean
Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. Pair 1 is incorrectly matched. The Kinnaur region of Himachal Pradesh is famous for the production of temperate fruits, especially apples, not Areca nut, which is typically grown in coastal and tropical regions with high rainfall.
2. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched. The Mewat region (parts of Haryana and Rajasthan) is largely semi-arid and not well-known for large-scale Mango production compared to other regions like Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, or Maharashtra.
3. Pair 3 is incorrectly matched. The Coromandel Coast is primarily associated with the production of rice, pulses, and groundnuts. Major Soya bean production in India is concentrated in Central India, particularly Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Since none of the pairs are correctly matched, the answer is (D) None.
