Which of the following igneous complex is not associated with Deccan Volcanic Province ?

  • A.Girnar
  • B.Phenaimata
  • C.Mundevara
  • D.Sittampundi

Answer: D

The complex not associated with the Deccan Volcanic Province is Sittampundi.

Sittampundi in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu, is an Archaean layered anorthosite complex with chromitite layers in the granulite terrain of southern India, far older than the Deccan Traps and unrelated to them.

The other three are alkaline or mafic complexes emplaced with the Deccan volcanism at the end of the Cretaceous: Girnar in Saurashtra (Gujarat), Phenaimata in Gujarat, and Mundwara (printed 'Mundevara') in Rajasthan.
