Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the Helium?
A. Helium is colourless, odourless, tasteless, inert and a noble gas.
B. India’s Rajmahal volcanic basin in Jharkhand is the store house of helium trapped for billions years.
C. Both A & B
D. None of these
Explanation:
Helium is colourless, odourless, tasteless, inert and a noble gas. India imports helium for its needs, and with the U.S. appearing set to cut off exports of helium since 2021, Indian industry stands to lose out heavily. India’s Rajmahal volcanic basin in Jharkhand is the store house of helium trapped for billions years. At present, India is mapping the Rajmahal basin extensively for future exploration and harnessing of helium.
