Question

Match List-I with List-II.\[\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{List-I (Crop)} & \text{List-II (First hybrid variety)} \\ \hline \text{(A) Maize} & \text{(I) CSH-1} \\ \hline \text{(B) Jowar} & \text{(II) H-4} \\ \hline \text{(C) Bajra} & \text{(III) HB-1} \\ \hline \text{(D) Cotton} & \text{(IV) Ganga-1} \\ \hline \end{array}\]Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Always remember the "first hybrids" in crops: Ganga-1 (Maize), CSH-1 (Jowar), HB-1 (Bajra), and H-4 (Cotton). These are direct questions from Indian agriculture milestones.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the first hybrid varieties.
- Maize → Ganga-1 (IV)
- Jowar → CSH-1 (I)
- Bajra → HB-1 (III)
- Cotton → H-4 (II)

Step 2: Construct the correct matching. \[ \begin{aligned} (A) &\rightarrow (IV) \text{Maize - Ganga-1}
(B) &\rightarrow (I) \text{Jowar - CSH-1}
(C) &\rightarrow (III) \text{Bajra - HB-1}
(D) &\rightarrow (II) \text{Cotton - H-4}
\end{aligned} \]

Step 3: Verify against the options.
This matches Option 2 exactly.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{The correct answer is 2. (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)}} \]
