Detailed Solution

The above statement is False because the Bailadila iron ore field gets its name because of its looks instead of its location. Its location has nothing to do with its name. There are three iron ore belts in India, and the Bailadila iron ore field falls in the Durg-Bastar-Chandrapur belt, which covers the area of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. The Bailadila iron ore field particularly lies in the southern part of Chhattisgarh. This site is among the sites which are popularly known for the rich quality of iron obtained and made the state recognizable at the national level in terms of income. Bailadila hill looks like a bump of an ox; hence it got this name.
The correct statement would be that the Bailadila iron ore field gets its name because of its looks.
