Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I Variety	LIST-II Crop
A. Pusa Muskan	I. Marigold
B. Arka Bangara	II. Chrysanthemum
C. Pusa Shagun	III. Rose
D. Pusa Anmol	IV. Gladiolus

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Arka Bangara is a marigold, so B-I. Only options (2) and (4) have it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We must match each improved variety with the flower crop it belongs to. Pusa varieties come from IARI, New Delhi. Arka varieties come from IIHR, Bengaluru.

Step 2: Fix the sure pair:
Arka Bangara is a well known marigold variety from IIHR. So B matches I (Marigold). This removes options 1 and 3, because they pair B with II.

Step 3: Check option (1):
It pairs B with Chrysanthemum, which is wrong. Option (1) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (2):
It pairs B with Marigold, which is right, but it also pairs Pusa Anmol with Gladiolus and Pusa Muskan with Chrysanthemum. These pairs do not match the standard variety list. Option (2) is wrong.

Step 5: Check option (3):
It pairs B with Chrysanthemum, which is wrong. Option (3) is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (4):
It gives A-III (Pusa Muskan, Rose), B-I (Arka Bangara, Marigold), C-IV (Pusa Shagun, Gladiolus), D-II (Pusa Anmol, Chrysanthemum). This is the standard grouping, so option (4) is correct.

Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II, which is option (4). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (4)}} \]
