Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists
List I (Industrial Unit | List II (Centre)
I. Atlas Cycle Company Ltd. | (A) Bangalore
II. Bharat Earth Movers Ltd. | (B) Bhubaneswar
III. Indian Farmers Fertilisers Cooperative Ltd. | (C) Kalol
IV. National Aluminium Company Ltd. | (D) Sonepat
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 (I-D, II-A, III-C, IV-B). This matching is based on the primary headquarters and major manufacturing hubs of these prominent Indian industrial units.
- Atlas Cycle Company Ltd. (I-D): Founded in 1951, its landmark manufacturing unit was established in Sonepat, Haryana, making it a household name in the bicycle industry.
- Bharat Earth Movers Ltd. (II-A): BEML, a Miniratna Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, is headquartered in Bangalore (Bengaluru), Karnataka.
- Indian Farmers Fertilisers Cooperative Ltd. (III-C): IFFCO operates one of its earliest and most significant ammonia-urea plants in Kalol, Gujarat.
- National Aluminium Company Ltd. (IV-B): NALCO, a Navratna CPSE, has its corporate office and significant operations based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because they mismatch these specific industrial locations, such as incorrectly placing BEML in Sonepat or NALCO in Kalol.
