Question

Match List-I with List-II

List-I Sowing/Planting Method	List-II Characteristics
(A) Drilling	(I) Row to row and plant to plant distance is uniform
(B) Dibbling	(II) Dropping seeds in furrow in a continuous flow
(C) Check row planting	(III) Seeds are placed in holes made in seedbed
(D) Hill dropping	(IV) Spacing between plant to plant in a row is constant
(E) Broadcasting	(V) Scattering of seed on the surface of land

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

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

Hint:

Broadcasting = Scattering (V).
Dibbling = Placing in holes (III).
Check row = Uniform grid pattern in both directions (I).
Use these high-contrast pairs to quickly narrow down matching options in multiple-choice exams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Different methods of sowing and planting are practiced in agriculture to optimize crop spacing, density, and resource utilization.
Each method is defined by its characteristic placement pattern of seeds in the field.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us match each method with its corresponding characteristic:
- (A) Drilling: The process of dropping seeds in a continuous, uniform flow into furrow channels at a specific depth, which are then covered with soil.
This matches characteristic (II).
- (B) Dibbling: The manual or mechanical placement of individual seeds into small, pre-made holes in the seedbed at precise intervals.
This matches characteristic (III).
- (C) Check row planting: A highly structured planting method where seeds are placed in straight rows in two perpendicular directions.
This arrangement keeps the distance from row-to-row and plant-to-plant completely uniform, allowing weeding and cultivation in both directions.
This matches characteristic (I).
- (D) Hill dropping: A specialized planting method where groups of several seeds (called "hills") are dropped at constant, predetermined spacing along a row.
This matches characteristic (IV).
- (E) Broadcasting: The random scattering of seeds over the surface of the land, either manually or mechanically, after which they are incorporated into the soil using a harrow.
This matches characteristic (V).
Therefore, the correct match is: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV), (E) - (V).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence corresponds to option 3.
