Show Hint

Remember fruit quality indicators:
- Mango: Yellow spots, TSS 14-16%
- Watermelon: Specific gravity >1.0, dried tendril
- Kinnow: TSS:Acid ratio 12:1
- Kiwi: TSS 6.0%
- Citrus: TSS:Acid ratio indicates sweetness
  • A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  • A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests knowledge of quality parameters for different fruits.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Mango (A):
Maturity indicator is Yellow spot (IV) - development of yellow patches on the shoulders.
TSS of 14-16% is optimal for mango, not 6.0.
Thus, A matches with IV.
Watermelon (B):
Specific gravity of 1.01-1.02 (III) indicates good maturity and sweetness.
Other indicators: Thumping sound, dried tendril.
Thus, B matches with III.
Kinnow mandarin (C):
TSS:acid ratio of 12:1 (II) is the standard for commercial maturity and taste.
Thus, C matches with II.
Kiwi fruit (D):
TSS of 6.0 (I) for optimal eating quality.
Thus, D matches with I.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I, which corresponds to option (A).
