Question

Match the mineral deficiency disorders given in Column I with their symptoms given in Column II. {|l|c|l|c|} \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Column I} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Column II}
i. & Chlorosis & a. & Localised death of tissues in leaves
ii. & Necrosis & b. & Premature fall of flowers, fruits and leaves
iii. & Mottling & c. & Yellowing of leaves due to absence of chlorophyll
iv. & Abscission & d. & Appearance of green and non-green patches on leaves
Choose the correct option from below.

• A. i - a ii - b iii - c iv - d
• B. i - b ii - d iii - a iv - c
• C. i - c ii - a iii - d iv - b
• D. i - d ii - c iii - b iv - a

Hint:

- Chlorosis = yellowing - Necrosis = dead tissue - Mottling = patchy leaves - Abscission = falling of parts

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Common mineral deficiency symptoms:
• Chlorosis: yellowing due to lack of chlorophyll
• Necrosis: death of tissue in parts of leaf
• Mottling: irregular patches of green and non-green
• Abscission: premature dropping of plant parts

Step 1: Match each

• i (Chlorosis) $\rightarrow$ c
• ii (Necrosis) $\rightarrow$ a
• iii (Mottling) $\rightarrow$ d
• iv (Abscission) $\rightarrow$ b

Step 2: Final mapping
\[ i-c,\quad ii-a,\quad iii-d,\quad iv-b \]
