List-I	List-II
A. Agartala B. Bengaluru C. Jodhpur D. Hyderabad	I. Very high damage risk zone II. High damage risk zone III. Moderate damage risk zone IV. Low damage risk zone

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

Hint:

For cyclone and wind damage zones, coastal and exposed regions generally have higher risk, while inland and protected regions generally have lower risk.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Wind and cyclone damage risk zones classify places according to expected wind speed and cyclone-related damage potential.

Step 1: Understand high-risk coastal and north-eastern areas.
Agartala lies in a region that can experience strong wind and cyclone-related effects. Hence, it is matched with very high damage risk zone. \[ A \rightarrow I \]

Step 2: Understand low-risk inland cities.
Bengaluru is an inland city and is comparatively less exposed to cyclone wind damage. \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Match Jodhpur.
Jodhpur is matched with high damage risk zone in the given classification. \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match Hyderabad.
Hyderabad is matched with moderate damage risk zone. \[ D \rightarrow III \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-I,\ B-IV,\ C-II,\ D-III \]
