How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Detailed Solution
1. Kamarajar Port: Correctly matched. Located near Chennai, it is India's 12th major port and the first to be registered as a public company (Ennore Port Limited) under the Companies Act, 1956.
2. Mundra Port: Correctly matched. Located in Gujarat, Mundra Port is indeed India's largest privately owned port, operated by Adani Ports and SEZ Limited. 3. Visakhapatnam Port: Incorrectly matched.
While Visakhapatnam is a significant port, the largest container port in India is the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. JNPA handles approximately 50% of India's total containerized cargo. Therefore, two pairs are correctly matched.
