**ഓപ്പൺ-കാസ്റ്റ് (ഉപരിതല) ഖനനം**, **അണ്ടർഗ്രൗണ്ട് (ഷാഫ്റ്റ്) ഖനനം** എന്നിവ തമ്മിലുള്ള വ്യത്യാസം എന്താണ്?

**Open-Cast Mining: Cheapest and easiest method used when minerals **LIE CLOSE TO THE EARTH'S SURFACE, OVERBURDEN IS STRIPPED OFF**; Underground Shaft Mining: Expensive and hazardous method used when **MINERALS LIE AT DEEP DEPTHS, REQUIRING VERTICAL SHAFTS, ELEVATORS, VENTILATION, AND HAULAGE VEHICLES******ഓപ്പൺ-കാസ്റ്റ് മൈനിംഗ്: ധാതുക്കൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഏറ്റവും വിലകുറഞ്ഞതും എളുപ്പമുള്ളതുമായ രീതി **LIE CLOSE TO THE EARTH'S SURFACE, OVERBURDEN IS STRIPPED OFF**; ഭൂഗർഭ ഷാഫ്റ്റ് ഖനനം: **MINERALS LIE AT DEEP DEPTHS, REQUIRING VERTICAL SHAFTS, ELEVATORS, VENTILATION, AND VEHICLES എപ്പോൾ ചെലവേറിയതും അപകടകരവുമായ രീതി ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു

Shaft mining uses zero machinesഷാഫ്റ്റ് മൈനിംഗ് സീറോ മെഷീനുകൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Open-cast quarries shallow surface ores cheaply; Shaft mining drives subterranean elevators, extraction tunnels, and ventilation systems to reach deep ores.

ഓപ്പൺ-കാസ്റ്റ് ക്വാറി ആഴം കുറഞ്ഞ ഉപരിതല അയിരുകൾ വിലകുറഞ്ഞതാണ്; ഷാഫ്റ്റ് ഖനനം ഭൂഗർഭ എലിവേറ്ററുകൾ, എക്സ്ട്രാക്ഷൻ ടണലുകൾ, വെൻ്റിലേഷൻ സംവിധാനങ്ങൾ എന്നിവയെ ആഴത്തിലുള്ള അയിരുകളിലേക്ക് എത്തിക്കുന്നു.

What are the severe occupational hazards and safety risks associated with **Deep Underground Shaft Mining**?

**ഡീപ് അണ്ടർഗ്രൗണ്ട് ഷാഫ്റ്റ് ഖനനവുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട ഗുരുതരമായ തൊഴിൽ അപകടങ്ങളും സുരക്ഷാ അപകടങ്ങളും എന്തൊക്കെയാണ്?

**1. **COLLAPSE OF MINE ROOFS AND WALLS**; 2. **POISONOUS GAS INUNDATION (METHANE, CARBON MONOXIDE) AND EXPLOSIONS**; 3. Subterranean flooding; 4.

How Chapter-Wise Online CBT Tests Build Winning Habits for Future Competitive Exams

Focused chapter-wise CBT practice builds the speed, mental stamina, and analytical discipline required to ace CUET, JEE Main, NEET UG, NDA, CA Foundation, and College Entrance Exams.

Competitive Edge

Real-Time Clock Awareness & Pacing

समय प्रबंधन एवं गति नियंत्रण

In school examinations, students write answers without active pacing. In national entrance tests, students have barely 45-60 seconds per MCQ. Practicing with a 20-minute timer instills instinctive time-budgeting and prevents last-minute exam panic.

Mastery of the Elimination Technique

विकल्प निष्कासन विधि में दक्षता

Top rankers in competitive exams rarely compute every problem blindly. They spot subtle traps, evaluate extreme values, and eliminate 2 out of 4 distractors within seconds. Our 4-option sets teach critical distractor analysis.

CBT Screen Stamina & Digital Comfort

कंप्यूटर आधारित परीक्षा का सहज अभ्यास

Almost all major national exams (CUET, JEE, NEET, SSC, Banking) are 100% computer-based. Students who only study on paper experience eye strain and navigation mistakes on exam day. Early CBT practice creates effortless digital fluency.

Immunity to Negative Marking

सटीकता और नकारात्मक अंकन से सुरक्षा

Careless errors—such as misreading "NOT" or "EXCEPT"—ruin thousands of competitive aspirations each year. Regular objective testing builds the habit of double-checking question keywords before locking answers.

Instant Diagnostic Feedback Loop

तत्काल त्रुटि निवारण एवं आत्म-मूल्यांकन
