Question

Match the Column I containing mutant varieties with Column II containing respective crop plants.
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|l|c|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Column I} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Column II} \\ \hline i. & Jagannath & a. & Cotton \\ ii. & NP-836 & b. & Cabbage \\ iii. & Indore-2 & c. & Rice \\ iv. & Regina-II & d. & Wheat \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Choose the correct option from below.

• A. i-b ii -d iii - c iv -a
• B. i-a ii-c iii-d iv-b
• C. i-c ii-b iii-a iv-d
• D. i - c ii - d iii -a iv - b

Hint:

Memory trick: Jagannath = Rice, NP series = Wheat, Indore = Cotton, Regina = Cabbage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Mutation breeding has led to development of several improved crop varieties with desirable traits such as higher yield and disease resistance.

Step 1: Match known mutant varieties.
• Jagannath → Rice (c)
• NP-836 → Wheat (d)
• Indore-2 → Cotton (a)
• Regina-II → Cabbage (b)

Step 2: Verify combination. \[ i-c,\; ii-d,\; iii-a,\; iv-b \]

Step 3: Conclusion. \[ \text{Correct matching = Option (D)} \]
