Question

Match the following. Column-I represents automobile companies and Column-II their brands.

Column-I	Column-II
(A) Hindustan Motors	i. Alto
(B) Fiat	ii. Contessa
(C) Maruti Udyog	iii. Siena
(D) Honda	iv. Accord

Choose the answer from the following choices:

• A. A-i, B-ii, C-iii, D-iv
• B. A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv
• C. A-i, B-ii, C-iv, D-iii
• D. A-iv, B-iii, C-ii, D-i

Hint:

Recall one signature car model for each company: Hindustan Motors, Fiat, Maruti Udyog and Honda.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We are given four automobile companies in Column-I and four car brand names in Column-II, scrambled up, and we need to match each company with the model it actually makes.

Step 2: Key Approach:
The fastest way to solve this is to recall which company sells which car model, then match each letter to the right number one at a time rather than guessing from the answer choices.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Hindustan Motors (A) is best known for the Contessa, a large sedan it sold for years, so A matches ii.
Fiat (B) sold the Siena, a mid-size sedan, in India in the early 2000s, so B matches iii.
Maruti Udyog (C) launched the Alto as a small hatchback in 2000, so C matches i.
Honda (D) makes the Accord, its premium sedan, so D matches iv.
Putting these together gives A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv, which is option (2).
Option (1) wrongly keeps A with i and C with iii, swapping the Alto and Contessa makers.
Option (3) wrongly gives Honda's Accord to Maruti and the Siena label to Honda.
Option (4) reverses almost every pair and does not match a single company correctly.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct match is A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv, so option (2) is correct.
