Question

Match the countries with their respective currencies:

List-I (Country)	List-II (Currency)
(A) Japan	(I) Krone
(B) Russia	(II) Yen
(C) China	(III) Ruble
(D) Norway	(IV) Yuan

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

In a match-the-list question, find the one country-currency pair you are completely sure about first, then eliminate every option that pairs that country with a different currency. You will often be left with only one possible option before you even check the rest.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests general knowledge about countries and their official currencies.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match each country in List-I with its correct currency in List-II:

(A) Japan: The official currency of Japan is the (II) Yen.
(B) Russia: The official currency of Russia is the (III) Ruble.
(C) China: The official currency of China is the Renminbi, and its basic unit is the (IV) Yuan.
(D) Norway: The official currency of Norway is the Norwegian (I) Krone.
The correct matching is: A\(\rightarrow\)II, B\(\rightarrow\)III, C\(\rightarrow\)IV, D\(\rightarrow\)I.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Based on the correct pairings, option (3) presents the correct combination.

Answer 2

Concept:

• In a match-the-list MCQ, every option is already a complete claim about all four pairs, so confirming just one pairing with total certainty is often enough to eliminate three of the four options at once.
• Anchoring on the fact you are most sure about, before working through the uncertain ones, is faster and more reliable than reasoning out every pair from scratch.

Step 1: Pick the most certain pairing.
The currency of Japan being the Yen is common knowledge, so anchor on (A) Japan matched with (II) Yen.

Step 2: Scan the options and remove every one that contradicts this anchor.
The first option pairs (A) with (IV), the second option pairs (A) with (III), and the fourth option pairs (A) with (III) as well. All three contradict the Japan-Yen pairing and can be eliminated immediately, leaving only the option that pairs (A) with (II).

Step 3: Confirm the surviving option against the remaining pairs.
The surviving option pairs (B) Russia with (III) Ruble, (C) China with (IV) Yuan, and (D) Norway with (I) Krone, all of which match the well known currency of each country, confirming the option is fully correct rather than only correct on the anchor pair.

Final Answer: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I).
