Explanation

Option B (Maharashtra) is the correct answer. According to the textbook context, the Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline is a cross-country gas pipeline that connects three specific locations: Hazira (in Gujarat), Vijaipur (in Madhya Pradesh), and Jagdishpur (in Uttar Pradesh). The pipeline is described as linking Mumbai High and Bassein gas fields with fertilizer, power and industrial complexes in western and northern India. However, the actual route of the HVJ pipeline passes through Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh — not Maharashtra. Therefore, Maharashtra is the state that is NOT connected with the H.V.J. pipeline.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the three key locations of the HVJ pipeline from the context: Hazira, Vijaipur, and Jagdishpur.

  2. Step 2: Determine the states where these locations are situated: Hazira (Gujarat), Vijaipur (Madhya Pradesh), Jagdishpur (Uttar Pradesh).

  3. Step 3: Compare with the given options - Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh.

  4. Step 4: Identify that Maharashtra is not part of the HVJ pipeline route, making it the correct answer.
