Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I	LIST-II
A. Check basin irrigation B. Furrow irrigation C. Sprinkler irrigation D. Open ended borders	I. Lateral movement of water II. Large size field III. Loss of land IV. Distorted patterns

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Important irrigation associations: \[ \boxed{ \text{Furrow irrigation} \rightarrow \text{Lateral movement} } \] \[ \boxed{ \text{Check basin} \rightarrow \text{Loss of land} } \] \[ \boxed{ \text{Sprinkler} \rightarrow \text{Distorted fields} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Different irrigation methods possess different characteristics, applications and limitations. The matching requires understanding the major feature associated with each irrigation method.

Step 1: Matching Check Basin Irrigation. Check basin irrigation:
• Requires bunds and field divisions
• Occupies cultivable land Therefore it is associated with: \[ \boxed{ \text{Loss of land} } \] Hence: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Matching Furrow Irrigation. In furrow irrigation:
• Water moves laterally from furrow to crop root zone
• Sideways infiltration is important Therefore: \[ \boxed{ \text{Lateral movement of water} } \] Hence: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Matching Sprinkler Irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation is suitable for:
• Irregular topography
• Distorted field patterns Hence: \[ \boxed{ \text{Distorted patterns} } \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Matching Open Ended Borders. Open ended border irrigation is generally adopted for:
• Large fields
• Long border strips Thus: \[ D \rightarrow II \]

Step 5: Writing final matching. The correct matching is: \[ \boxed{ A-III,\ B-I,\ C-IV,\ D-II } \]

Step 6: Checking options carefully. Option (A): Incorrect matching. \[ \boxed{ \text{Option (A) is incorrect} } \] Option (B): Incorrect matching. \[ \boxed{ \text{Option (B) is incorrect} } \] Option (C): Incorrect matching. \[ \boxed{ \text{Option (C) is incorrect} } \] Option (D): Correct matching. \[ \boxed{ \text{Option (D) is correct} } \] Final Conclusion: The correct matching is: \[ \boxed{ A-III,\ B-I,\ C-IV,\ D-II } \] Hence the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{ (D) } \]
