In central India, which of the following is correct statement in relation to Vindhyan group ?

  • A.Vindhyan rocks are thickest along southern margin of Vindhyan supergroup which is a faulted contact.
  • B.Vindhyan rocks are thickest along northern margin of the supergroup near Bundelkhand massif.
  • C.Vindhyan rocks are thickest along center of the Vindhyan syneclise axis
  • D.There is no variation in thickness in Vindhyan sediments.

Answer: A

The key's answer is that Vindhyan rocks are thickest along the southern margin of the supergroup, which is a faulted contact.

The Vindhyan basin of central India is bounded on the south by the Son-Narmada lineament, a deep fault zone. The basin subsided most along this margin, so the sedimentary pile is thickest there, in the Son valley sector, where it reaches several kilometres, and it thins northwards onto the Bundelkhand massif.

So the rocks are not thickest near the Bundelkhand massif, nor uniformly along the axis, and the large variation in thickness rules out the statement that there is none.
