Cassiterite is the major one mineral of :

  • A.Tungsten
  • B.Tin
  • C.Titanium
  • D.Tantalum

Answer: B

Cassiterite is the main ore mineral of tin.

Cassiterite is tin dioxide, SnO2, and almost all the world's tin comes from it, either from veins and greisens around granites or from placer deposits, as in South-East Asia. In India it occurs in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh.

Tungsten comes from wolframite and scheelite, titanium from ilmenite and rutile, and tantalum from tantalite (columbite-tantalite). None of them is obtained from cassiterite.
