Correct Answer :

Option C

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


Solution :

The correct option is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).

To determine the correct matching between the ores and their chemical compositions, let's analyze each ore individually:

1. Kaolinite (A):
Kaolinite is a layered silicate clay mineral. Its chemical composition is represented as a hydrated aluminum silicate with the formula:
[ Al 2 ( OH ) 4 Si 2 O 5 ] This matches with (III) in List-II.

2. Siderite (B):
Siderite is an important iron ore consisting of iron(II) carbonate. Its chemical formula is:
FeCO 3 This matches with (I) in List-II.

3. Malachite (C):
Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, commonly recognized by its vibrant green color. Its chemical composition is:
CuCO 3 · Cu ( OH ) 2 This matches with (IV) in List-II.

4. Calamine (listed as Colamine) (D):
Calamine (historically zinc carbonate) is an important ore of zinc. Its chemical formula is:
ZnCO 3 This matches with (II) in List-II.

By putting all the matches together, we get:
(A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II).
