Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|l|} \hline \text{LIST-I} & \text{River} & \text{LIST-II} & \text{Source} \\ \hline A. & \text{Satluj} & I. & \text{Bara Lacha Pass} \\ \hline B. & \text{Beas} & II. & \text{Manasarovar-Rakas Lakes} \\ \hline C. & \text{Chenab} & III. & \text{Verinag} \\ \hline D. & \text{Jhelum} & IV. & \text{Near Rohtang Pass} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
• C. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Important authors and books: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Trewartha} &\rightarrow \textit{General Climatology}, \text{Griffiths} &\rightarrow \textit{Applied Climatology}, \text{Barry \& Chorley} &\rightarrow \textit{Atmosphere, Weather and Climate}, \text{Critchfield} &\rightarrow \textit{An Introduction to Climate}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Trewartha--General, Griffiths--Applied, Barry--Atmosphere, Critchfield--Introduction.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Several standard climatology textbooks are closely associated with their respective authors and are frequently asked in geography examinations.

Step 1: Match each author with the correct book. \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Trewartha} &\rightarrow \textit{General Climatology}, \text{Griffiths} &\rightarrow \textit{Applied Climatology}, \text{Barry and Chorley} &\rightarrow \textit{Atmosphere, Weather and Climate}, \text{Critchfield} &\rightarrow \textit{An Introduction to Climate}. \end{aligned} } \]

Step 2: Convert into the given matching. \[ \boxed{ A\!-\!II,\; B\!-\!III,\; C\!-\!I,\; D\!-\!IV } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
