Question

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Product} & \textbf{Producer} \\ \hline (A) \; \text{Citric Acid} & (I) \; \text{Trichoderma polysporum} \\ \hline (B) \; \text{Ethanol} & (II) \; \text{Monascus purpureus} \\ \hline (C) \; \text{Statins} & (III) \; \text{Saccharomyces cerevisiae} \\ \hline (D) \; \text{Cyclosporin A} & (IV) \; \text{Aspergillus niger} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

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

Hint:

When matching products and producers, focus on common industrial uses like fermentation for ethanol or specific medicinal products like statins.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Citric Acid is produced by Aspergillus niger, which is used in large-scale production for industrial processes. Therefore, (A) - (I) is correct. 
- Ethanol is produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), which is widely used for fermentation processes. Hence, (B) - (II) is correct. 
- Statins, a group of drugs used to lower cholesterol, are produced by Monascus purpureus, a species of mold. Hence, (C) - (III) is correct. 
- Cyclosporin A, an immunosuppressive drug, is produced by Trichoderma polysporum, used to prevent organ rejection. Therefore, (D) - (IV) is correct. 
Correct Match: (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
