Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I	LIST-II
A. Tandem disc harrow B. Ridger C. Puddler D. Chisel Plough	I. Paddy II. Double action III. V shaped furrow IV. Deep tillage

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Important farm implement associations:
• Tandem disc harrow \(\rightarrow\) Double action
• Ridger \(\rightarrow\) V-shaped furrow
• Puddler \(\rightarrow\) Paddy cultivation
• Chisel plough \(\rightarrow\) Deep tillage Memory Trick: \[ \boxed{ \text{“Disc-double, Ridger-V, Puddler-paddy, Chisel-deep”} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Agricultural implements are important tools used for tillage, seedbed preparation, puddling, furrow making, and soil management. Different implements are designed for specific agricultural operations depending upon:
• Soil type
• Crop requirement
• Moisture condition
• Depth of tillage Understanding the functions and applications of farm implements is extremely important in agricultural engineering and farm mechanization. The question requires proper matching between implements and their specific applications or characteristics.

Step 1: Understanding Tandem Disc Harrow. A Tandem Disc Harrow is a secondary tillage implement used for:
• Soil pulverization
• Clod breaking
• Mixing crop residue
• Seedbed preparation In a tandem disc harrow, the gangs of discs are arranged in such a way that the implement performs cutting action in opposite directions. This arrangement is known as: \[ \boxed{\text{Double action}} \] Therefore: \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Understanding Ridger. A Ridger is an implement used for:
• Forming ridges and furrows
• Earthing up crops
• Irrigation channel preparation The furrow formed by a ridger generally has: \[ \boxed{\text{V-shaped furrow}} \] Hence: \[ B \rightarrow III \]

Step 3: Understanding Puddler. A Puddler is an implement used mainly in wetland cultivation, especially for:
• Paddy field preparation
• Breaking soil aggregates in standing water
• Reducing percolation losses Puddling is specifically associated with: \[ \boxed{\text{Paddy cultivation}} \] Therefore: \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4: Understanding Chisel Plough. A Chisel Plough is a primary tillage implement used for:
• Breaking hardpan
• Improving root penetration
• Enhancing soil aeration
• Deep soil loosening It is specifically associated with: \[ \boxed{\text{Deep tillage}} \] Hence: \[ D \rightarrow IV \]

Step 5: Writing the final matching sequence. Thus the correct matching becomes: \[ A \rightarrow II \] \[ B \rightarrow III \] \[ C \rightarrow I \] \[ D \rightarrow IV \] Therefore: \[ \boxed{ A-II,\; B-III,\; C-I,\; D-IV } \]

Step 6: Comparing with the given options. Option (A): \[ A-I,\; B-II,\; C-IV,\; D-III \] Incorrect matching. Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A) is incorrect}} \] Option (B): \[ A-II,\; B-III,\; C-I,\; D-IV \] This exactly matches the correct sequence. Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (B) is correct}} \] Option (C): \[ A-IV,\; B-I,\; C-II,\; D-I \] Incorrect arrangement. Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (C) is incorrect}} \] Option (D): \[ A-III,\; B-IV,\; C-II,\; D-I \] Incorrect matching. Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (D) is incorrect}} \] Final Conclusion: The correct matching is: \[ \boxed{ A-II,\; B-III,\; C-I,\; D-IV } \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(B)\ A-II,\; B-III,\; C-I,\; D-IV} \]
