Question

Match List-I with List-II

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Remember the terms:
- "Eros-ivity" refers to the active agent (Rainfall).
- "Erod-ibility" refers to the passive material (Soil).
- "Radial flow" is the standard assumption for well draw-down equations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
We match terms from soil conservation, irrigation, and groundwater hydraulics with their respective physical media, components, or operational parameters.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Let us analyze each pair logically:
1.

Erosivity (A): A measure of the potential of rainfall to cause soil erosion. Thus, it is a property of the

Rainfall. Matches with

(III).
2.

Erodibility (B): The vulnerability or susceptibility of a soil to erosion forces. Thus, it is a property of the

Soil. Matches with

(IV).
3.

Application efficiency (C): The ratio of the water stored in the crop root zone to the water delivered to the field, representing an

Irrigation parameter. Matches with

(V).
4.

Radial flow (D): The horizontal flow of groundwater from all directions towards the cylindrical screen of a pumping

Tubewell. Matches with

(I).
5.

Cone of depression (E): The conical drop in the water table surrounding a pumping well. The overlap of adjacent cones of depression determines the minimum required

Tubewell spacing to prevent interference. Matches with

(II).
This yields: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (V), (D) - (I), (E) - (II).

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct option is 2, which corresponds to (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (V), (D) - (I), (E) - (II).
