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

Hint:

Match each named machine to the one crop it is specifically built to harvest.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: A digger is the standard machine used to lift potatoes out of the soil, exposing the tubers so they can be picked up. So (A) Digger pairs with (II) Potato.

Step 2: A reaper is built to cut standing cereal crops like wheat and paddy at their base, so (B) Reaper pairs with (III) Cereal crops.

Step 3: A picker, specifically a cotton picker, is designed to pull cotton lint out of the open bolls on the plant, so (C) Picker pairs with (I) Cotton.

Step 4: A snapper is a machine built to snap corn ears off the maize stalk without husking them, so (D) Snapper pairs with (V) Maize.

Step 5: A mower cuts and lays down forage and grass crops for hay or silage, so (E) Mower pairs with (IV) Forage crops.

Step 6: Putting these together gives (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(V), (E)-(IV), matching option 4.
