Question

Match List-I with List-II:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)

Hint:

In cooperative farming, always distinguish between ownership (who owns the land) and operation (how the land is farmed) to match types correctly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct matching of cooperative farming societies is as follows: - Cooperative better farming society (A): Members own and operate their land individually but collaborate for better inputs, technology, or marketing (III – Ownership and operation individual).
- Cooperative collective farming society (B): Land is owned and farmed collectively, with shared resources and labor (I – Ownership as well as operation collective).
- Cooperative tenant farming society (C): Land is collectively owned, but individuals operate their allocated plots as tenants (II – Ownership collective but operation is individual).
- Cooperative joint farming society (D): Members own their land individually but pool labor and resources for collective farming operations (IV – Ownership individual and operation is collective).
Thus, the correct pairing is
% Option (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV), making option (2) correct.

Answer 2

Elimination through the ownership-operation grid:
Each type of cooperative farming society can be placed on a simple grid of ownership (individual or collective) versus operation (individual or collective). A better farming society keeps both ownership and operation individual. A collective farming society keeps both collective. A tenant farming society keeps ownership collective but operation individual. A joint farming society keeps ownership individual but operation collective.
Mapping (A) Better farming, (B) Collective farming, (C) Tenant farming and (D) Joint farming onto this grid gives (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV), since only this combination satisfies all four ownership/operation pairings simultaneously without contradiction.
Checking the given options, only option (2) reproduces this exact grid mapping, so option (2) is correct.
