Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I (Relationship)	List - II (Products)
A. Complementary Products B. Competitive Products C. Supplementary Products D. Joint Products	I. Meat and wool II. Paddy Straw and Livestock III. Paddy and Sugarcane IV. Crop and Dairy Product

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• B. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

Hint:

Joint products are "package deals"—you cannot produce the meat of a sheep without also growing the wool. Supplementary products are "bonus" productions using idle resources.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: In production economics, enterprises are classified based on how they interact with each other regarding resource use and output.

Step 1: Match Complementary and Competitive products.
Complementary products (A) are those where the production of one increases the production of the other (e.g., Crop and Dairy where manure helps crops and crops provide feed)[cite: 6519, 6565]. Competitive products (B) compete for the same resources (e.g., Paddy and Sugarcane competing for the same land/water)[cite: 6523, 6562]. Thus, A-IV and B-III.

Step 2: Match Supplementary and Joint products.
Supplementary products (C) use resources that would otherwise go to waste (e.g., Livestock using Paddy Straw as fodder)[cite: 6525, 6558]. Joint products (D) are produced simultaneously from the same process (e.g., Meat and Wool from sheep)[cite: 6529, 6554]. Thus, C-II and D-I.

Step 3: Final Matching.
A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I. This corresponds to Option (3).
